Thanks guys! I'm real happy with them. I'm contemplating lowering the car. I'm holding out though because I may be trading the car in as a down payment for a C6 Z51, trying to hold on to the car and get my vette but, at some point, there is just one too many cars.

Looks good Dave. When I come back from break with my new rims I think a photo shoot is in order.

Edit: Did you get that antenna from eBay?

Thanks Chris, yeah sure I'm up for that. As for the antenna I have no idea man, it came with the car when I bought it.

Yeah they were rubbing like crazy, I couldn't fit a finger in between there. So what I ended up doing was taking off that jouncer axle guard, then using the sawzall I cut out that hump in the middle of the wheel well. Then I applied a new coat of undercoating. You'd never know it was messed with. I know cutting sounds more serious, but to me it looks cleaner and seemed less abusive. And now I have absolutely no problems.

Go for it! That's why I posted my pics up, to help everyone decide. Yeah, they have them all posted on oewheel's site. They have them in a machined polish look, but they are not polished like polished C5 ZO6 rims, it's a duller finish. I think they have a chrome as well and then obviously black. I haven't been on the site for a while so maybe they have more options now.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I'm really happy with them. Well I don't think I'll be an old fart, I just turned 24 so I'm getting their but hey not quite. I've wanted a blk C6 M6 Z51 since they came out. I've dressed my past F-Bodies up with all kinds of vette **** for a reason and now that I can finally afford one I'm definitely going for it. Just something about vettes with me.

I can see picking up an LS1 Z down the road and building it up. I do love these cars and they are very affordable these days, it's just I want my vette and the other cars I've inherited from my father, so no way are those going anywhere. Camaro has to go for now, but that's alright I have all summer to enjoy her still.
