I like it man, good taste. I plan to do something similar but with a different wheel. Did you minitub? What size tires are those? I can kinda see why everybody is saying the tire looks too small.

The wheels are awesome. I agree that the rear lip is way too big, but I have a more pressing question that I just can't fathom the answer to...
HOW THE FORK did you fit the C6Z06 calipers behind those wheels?!! I know from first hand experience that the front calipers are just about the widest caliper you can get, and they don't fit many wheels at all...basically just C6Z06 and custom wheels. They don't even come close to clearing the super-flared spokes on my 18" ruffs...how the hell do they fit behind the flat-*** spokes on your wheels?
Could you possibly get some nice big pics of the front wheels so I can see the caliper clearance? Did you have to do any modifications to fit the calipers? If there's any way I can get the C6Z06 brakes to fit I would buy them in a heartbeat.

I think it looks like crap. Color is off, lip is way too big.
I find it funny how everyone makes fun of import cars with similar lips, then when it comes to domestics....oh it's cool.
Just like it's rice when you put a Type R emblem on a car that wasn't a "real" type R car, but it's all cool to put Vette wheels on a fbody.

Big stupid wings and stickers belong on imports...big lips and loud exhausts belong on domestics. Geez I thought this was common knowledge by now.

whats ricer about imports is a 245 tire stretched on a 12 inch wide wheel with a 6 inch lip.
...
now a 12 inch wide wheel with a 6 inch lip and a 335 tire....well thats jus badass.
