Re: C5 Corvette wheel day!
I like the wheels, shiny looks good with that blue. I`m not sure I`d have changed the wheel diameter, he`s probably grown accustomed to the short sidewall. He`d almost certainly notice it if he`s running it hard. Now if he`s driving it like Grandma and Ron, no big deal. :)
Re: C5 Corvette wheel day!
New wheels look so much better Scott!
Re: C5 Corvette wheel day!

Re: C5 Corvette wheel day!
Looks great. One of my favorite C5`s. I like both wheels. Owner can switch them out like shoes:)
Would love to see some bigger calipers and rotors on it. C6 Z06 brake upgrade would make that car perfect.
Re: C5 Corvette wheel day!
^^^I have to agree!!!! The brakes would be icing on the cake!
Re: C5 Corvette wheel day!
Beautiful car! Was there a big difference in the weight of the wheels?

I`m confused. Why did he drop ship you a set of tires & wheels? Just to mount them on the car?

Nothing earth shattering...the polished set are a bit lighter.

So I could polish and coat them for him and then do the install.
Re: C5 Corvette wheel day!
I like the black on that car but not necessarily the design. The new wheels step it up well...more of a custom look! I had two vert 5`s and they are great cars. Is that original paint on the car?

Original paint on the fenders, doors, rear deck. Has a new aftermarket hood installed and had the rear valance re-shot as well as the nose.
