Default Got new wheels
Sorry for the crappy pics, I was in a hurry, and just took a few quick ones. Anyways, I put some new wheels on. I got tired of having so much red, so I decided to tone it down.

BEFORE:
Custom painted '09 C6 wheels 18/19






AFTER
C6 Z06 wheels 17/18

That is a MAJOR improvement. I like the 18/19 wheel, just not with the red. I have the ones you have now and I love them. I would paint the vents and grilles something other than red. Looks kinda cheap like something on a ricer. Not trying to pick a fight, just my .02

Looking really good, the gumbys were nice too.

I think the red evenly flows with the car. He has red birds on the car too along with the nostril vents, and red calipers.
