Default First pics of my new wheels....
The car and wheels are dirty, and I know I need tire shine. I'm going to raise the back up ~1/2", it is too low for me, I want to keep the C6 "rake". Anyways, whatcha think? The wheels are CCW 505As, 19x10 & 20x11, 275/30/19 & 325/25/20 PS2s.

Powdercoated calipers and zinc plated rotors are next, tint is next week, and headers, Vararam, and tune in April.





Proof that 325s fit on a stock bodied C6:

I took one, but they don't show anything, too dark under there. This will tell you something though, they look HUGE under there, very wide.

Wow...your 325s are as wide as my 315s...just goes to show, actual size varies greatly despite numerical size.

Thanks for all the comments guys. It is amazing what a set of wheels will do for the overall look and attitude of a car, it looks 100% better than stock with just the wheels and tires.
