Wow, Those pics look pretty good. I cant wait to see some more, I want to get some 20's for my car but not in the Krager style rim. I cant wait to see more pics of C3's with custom rims. Has anyone lowered their C3 at all?
Thanks: Gene.

They were not hard at all, I did it while I had the body off... I've heard few horror stories about stubborn bolts in the trailing arms pockets though.

I just ordered Intro Vrod for our 72 with tires. I have talked with them at the GOOd Guys car show for 2 years in a row. The rep has several c3 himself and is very familar with size. I went with 18 x10 back 17 x 8.5

What about wheel offsets, and tire sizes? And are you going to have to put offset trailing arms on? Im looking to do the same thing but I dont want the wheels and tires sticking out past the fender flares, And I dont want a tire profile smaller then 3 inches. We have a lot of pot holes in my area and low profile tires would be a bad idea.

Intros are all custom built to the car. I like them because they have a large lip and with them custom built the offset is perfect. Also the valve steam is on the back side lip to give a smooth look and the backside is also polish. I have Iforge on my 350z which is made by the same company but are the piece version and very pleased with the quality. My vrods should be in about 4 weeks. I will post pics of them when I put them on the frame, vette still apart. I am at work I will get the tire size later. The combo price was $2500
