Default L5's and CCW Winter Mods - Pics
The 315's I was running were pretty useless on my street car. They would spin through 3rd gear. I tried a set of ET Street II's and they stuck very well but killed the handling. I figured I'd just put more rubber on the back so I installed Lewis Five rear quarters and 345x30x19's on the back.

Just finished today and got a few pics.















And a money shot...

Kevin, looks awesome having those steamrollers and nice new fenders on, I do like the new CCWs better than the Classics expecially on White. I miss my C5 so much that I have not pulled the trigger on a C6Z in hopes the wifey will give in and let me go the best looking Vette generation GM made

They wouldn't be missing if you could put your finger on them

Looks great Kevin

We tried to talk him into relocating the gas filler, but no luck.

To me it is a totally different car now with the new finders, wider tires and the new wheels! I like that style of CCW's a lot and would run those on my car if I did not have Fikse FM5's on my car.

Looks great WKMCD!!!

I ordered my 13" 505's last thursday to go with my L5's. If I get the wheels, it might give me a reason to take the fenders out of the box that I've had since November!!
