Default MY SOM SS with its new shoes!!!

Well I got a sick *** deal on these Z06 motorsports, and I just couldn't pass them up! I like it ALOT, it definitely beats the silver 10-spokes by a mile.

And I'm not gonna lower it due to me taking extreme enjoyment in leaving hard at the track, so it's gonna stay stock ride height for now.

Sorry about the filthy car, It will be cleaned up tomorrow.





Whatcha think?

sorry dont like them Not enough black and i hate the rivets and they only look like 17's. If they were 18s, lowerd, black mirrors, black tail filler and some black stripes then it may look better. chrome or polished looks best on SOM

sorry man, silver 10 spokes would still get my vote....I have a strong dislike for the Motorsport wheels, but its your car, as long as you like it that's all that matters.

I don't like wheels with rivets. It doesn't look as clean.

A mixed bag of opinions, just like I expected.

I know it would look ALOT better lowered, but I just don't want to deal with the ground clearance issues as I have some HUGE speed bumps to traverse in my daily routine and am getting LTs in a few days. Also, like I said, I like fitting big tires back there a couple times a month.

If I had chrome 10 spokes, I would have stuck with them. The silver ones are just so blah to me.

chrome 10-spokes would have been nicer on that color, but those don't look horrible. Just lower it ASAP.
