Default pics of new wheels

Finally got my new wheels on my car( pic in sig)......it took a couple of days for me to get use to them. Im also waiting on a Eibach Pro-kit to make it sit down a little more. The wheels are the OE Concepts black motorsports z06 wheels.

to make it smaller try this. Open the jpeg, right click on the picture file and open with microsoft paint, go to image on the top of the screen, select stretch/skew, Stretch horizontal and vertical to 25%, then save as and redo the signature. Keep doing that until you have the size you want.

I opened the pic with Paint and resized it to 15%. I also deleted my other pictured and removed my mods and this is the smallest I could get it. I will keep working on it.

Those don't look like the black motorsports because they don't have rivets. They look 100X better without rivets.

17x9.5 all the way around?
