Not bad, plan on painting your calipers? I think red would look good to match your SS emblems and centercap logo.

So they're OEM Z06 wheels? I always thought for some reason that OEM Z06 wheels were not the correct backspacing for our cars.

Looks great!

There is something raw, more aggressive about the gunmetal look. It makes the car look tougher. Great looking wheel.

mitch, they look good, but do you have more pics? It seems like they don't really look substantially different than what you had in the SS 10 spokes.

Can you grab some pics from the side of the car? I would like to see the 17" / 18" combo.
