Default New bling
Finally got the new bling put on the vert

08 Wheels


18 x 9.5 in the front


19 x 11 on the rear


although they do not look as wide as I thought they would from the back


guess I should think about tubing it out an going wider.

I still need to do something with those horrible looking calipers. I know someone who is selling a set of C6 Z51 calipers, rotors, and even the lines, but not in my budget for a few weeks...bills to pay off...dang student loans

They look really good!


But that style wheel never appeared on the Z06. It's an '08 C6 wheel.

Looks really good Joe! I always wondered what your car would look like with clean wheels / rotors. Now lower it.

Those new wheels look very good on your Vette, on a budget paint the calipers like many do
