Default New Wheels On The Red SS
Updated pics of it lowered on page 2
Put some new wheels on the superb sport this week. I was getting tired of the chrome zr1s and wanted to change it up a little.
Picked up these c5 z06 wheels and like the red/grey/black contrast more than red and chrome. Let me know what you think (besides lower it lol)

And I thought MY car needed lowered. Lol. Please tell me that was RIGHT after putting them on and the springs didn't have time to settle?

Other than that. It's too simple for me. I love chrome/polished wheels. Gray is too plain for me.

They are 17s front and rear. Lol I thought the chrome zr1s looked too plain thats why I put these wheels on there. The zr1s made it look lt1ish to me. I want to lower it but my hooker y pipe already scrapes on everything.

And what's wrong with an LT1?.. Just Kidding, I know what you mean.
If your not gonna lower it, your gonna need a "Fat Chicks Allowed!" sticker!
