My pictures were just after the wheels/tires were put on. I lowered it on the stock bolts and it settles a little I guess so it is a smidgen lower now.

These have my vote now if they only made them with a Cyber Grey finish they'd be perfect.

You tell 'em Mr. Game, these ol' farts have no sense of modern styling.

Of course, but that's because I'm only 71.
By the time I'm 90, I may be senile enough to want chrome bling as well.

Now there ya go again Don. You don't take the time to read.

He never said you were 90 years old, he said, "if you're 90 years old."

You should respond by saying that you are only 52, but you think like 90.

That would be more accurate. Don't thank me, like the government, I'm here to help!

At 52 you are close to my dad's age He's 57. That said, I don't think chrome necessarily makes a car look "old man", it's just all about the execution. I chose to plastidip my chrome GS wheels a satin black, but I left my chrome badges to tie in to the silver calipers and the GM chicklets.

I think it looks nice. I'd really like to have some OZ Ultraleggera HLT in 18/19, or some Forgestar F14 in 18/19. There's a really nice 360 Forged wheel as well - there's an orange Z06 with them on and they just look spectacular. Mesh 5 I think.

I actually would like to see some Cragers on a C6. I think that would be cool.

If you go to one of the more intricate wheel designs from HRE or 360 you will definitely want to go with ceramic brake pads, otherwise you will be spending A LOT of time keeping them clean. The OEM GS wheels are pretty darn easy to keep clean.

Thanks, and you're right, the black lug nuts would look better.

I purposely left the chrome nuts on so Don will continue to talk to me.

black or grey of course and never get 360 forged, trust me...you will never see the wheels...poor customer support from everything I read.

I go agree though, get concave.....and be ready to spend 3-5 grand...

I personally love my CG stock wheels.
