New Wheels Installed!!!

Just put on some black chrome c6 18" wheels. Loving the larger meats especially in the rear

Here are some before and after shots

Before:

After:

And the nice new ***:

Another side view:

And the rear again:

And since this is my only vehicle, transporting the old wheels back home (And yes I did put down plastic to protect my interior. It's still safe and sound):

Now I gotta lower it to fill up them empty wheel wells

Is there a motor in the car? (its really high in the front) hahaha jk. It looks much better. Lower that thing a little bit and it will look sick! Nice choice on wheels.

I know. It looked super hi jacked right after the swap I think that most of that is from the slope of the driveway. I also think the car has had the front shocks replaced at some point so they sit a little higher. It looks a little more normal on flat ground though.

Didn't have a whole lot of time to do cleaning, but it'll be far easier now that I have more space to work with on the wheels. I'm eventually going to go with the CTS-V calipers and Z06 rotors up front.

Well it's been stickied on the forum for a while. Plus I'm not going to go out and spend 3k on an aftermarket brake setup when I can get through gm for a whole lot less just to avoid being a copy cat. OEM for the win lol.
