Default My FRC gained attitude...pics

Just got new wheels put on Friday. Just need to lower it and tint the rear window. I know black wheels aren't for everybody and I wasn't completely sure I'd like it, but I think it looks mean as hell! Enjoy the pics

Very nice. I'm also beginning to like the "murdered" look.

Thanks for all the comments - It's being referred to as the "Bat Mobile" by a few already.

Looks fine, and it will look much better once you lower it a bit

Turn the lights on...I can't see it!!

Gotta admit, it does look mean. And those headlights in black look way better than some others I've seen.

Are you going to tint the rear lights and markers?

I'm debating on the tint for the markers and lights. I've been searching for some pics of blacked out C5's to get an idea.

Looks good. What are the details on the rim sizes and tire sizes. Did you buy everything new, tires and rims? Looks like you could have gone with wider tires on those rims, or would they have rubbed?

Love the headlights. I have a set myself. I was in the same boat you were till I got my matte wheels on my car. Beautiful car!

I stuck with the original tires (245/275) because they only had 3,000 miles on them. The wheels are 17x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 for the rears.

Are you referring to the fog lights?
