Wouln't have to lower it if the right size tires and rims were used.
Now several hundred more $$$ and time will be spent to drag the exhaust on the ground!!!!
But I do like the wheels but they make them is 15s and a good 225/70 or 255/60 would eliminate dragging at all.

Yep. Either cut the existing ones at an angle or cap them with chrome tips.I too agree that the car needs to be lowered because those wheels (aesthetically they look great) don't fill out the wheel wells. Lowering the car 2" to 21/2" will greatly enhance the side angle perspective!
I love the color too!

Yeah. When I saw a roofing contractor in an old chevy van go by with the same wheels, I thought Damn, those gotta go! They were on the car when my son bought it.

I have no idea. I went through a stack of paint catalogs for different cars and found that one. The body shop mixes their own paint, so they matched it. I can get you the code if you are that interested, but its not a corvette color.
Thank you for the compliment!
