| The rear wheel looks nuckin' futs with your car. Espescially if your top is black. |

i don't think they look right... I like the fronts better honestly, the C6 wheels aren't for everything...
now the C6 ZO6 wheels might be a different story (but also, another 1500+ on top of what you probably got the C6's for)...
would have to see the set as a whole.
and if you don't like them, hell I'd take them  |

Looks good man, like it better than the old ones.
BTW, what's up with the lifted orange Ranger? |

The lifted ranger is my buddy's; Sowers. Just a mild lift a 32" swampers.
I'm not sure I like how tall the tire is but otherwise I think it looks good. It also lines up with the fender line a bit better.
$1500 more? Yikes. I only paid $400 for these so that is much more than my budget on wheels. I still need to sell off all my sets of wagon wheels.
Once I get the fronts swapped I post another picture.

I think those wheels look awesome. They look good with the stripes. Will look even better with all of them on there. _________________ Thirdgenless |

| I like the design of the back wheels but the color makes them look dirty. It just doesn't seem to work with the red paint on the car. I think they work better with a brighter car color like yellow. |

Thanks! I'm really happy with the setup.
Aaron, How would the car make me look taller? And no you're not getting them!

Hey there's nothing wrong with handmedowns, it's cheaper than buying new! If you get a set of spindles you can buy my brake setup too. I've got some rotors I just need to get on a lathe and turn into hubs and the adapter bracket |

because it's low and has a good stance...and you're freakishly tall
if you photoshopped the car yellow, you'd possibly see what Jon was saying...
It's mostly in the color of the wheels, had they been black instead of gunmetal it might be a different story.
but I'm weird I guess... I've been satisfied with my ZR1's and the only two things I'd really ever consider replacing them with are a set of CCW 505a's or the Z06 wheels powdercoated black with a polished chrome lip.
but even then, I'm still not liking the prices of 275/40/17 tires, larger would make me hate it even more. |

Man that looks soo nice on that car. If you replaced the stripe w/ a gunmetal one to match the rims I think it'd look even better  |
