new wheels whatcha think?

Finally got the o.e. black c6 with machined lip wheels on. couldn't do all 4
18's, so I went with the staggard set up. 18x10.5 rear and 17x9.5 front. Let me know what u think. They still need to be cleaned up a bit, took a quick picture, not the best though. anywho.. here you go, yes I agree needs to be lowered!

NICE!! I really, really like those wheels. If only they looked good with NBM.

I like the black stripes on your hood, if it wasn't for those, the wheels wouldn't look quite as good. That little bit of black really brings the whole thing together.

I had to buy another 2 new tires and this was a cheaper set by a lot than the 18's all around. I could always buy another 2 18's down the road so its not that big of deal.

I like the wheels with the polished lip. Gives the appearance of the wheel having a concave look to it. They flow well with the theme you have.

Looked at your new pics. The wheels do look good. Just an idea but have you thought about painting the calipers red with a black caliper logo to match the car? That would look really good.

That and the CETA mod really completes the car. Oh and FWIW, I second the red calipers

well it might be hard to tell but i polished up my front calibers. i like the way that stands out when i do polish them back up (they are just dirty so its hard to tell in those pictures) and have a black trans am decal on them. I have just been lazy to do the rears. i will dig up a picture of them to post.
