Side Pipes look great on there. I like your choice in wheels too!

I love the original wheels but with that paint shine and the side pipes, those new wheels pop just right. Beautiful car.

I am with you, I thought the stock wheels looked great, but then you see the other after pic. And the stock wheel looked like $@&*#.

Thanks for making my car suck! Kidding. Man I think you just made it look like a whole different car

On the fence, grass is greener on both sides
The new rims are very nice, hard to beat a chrome 5-spoke.
That being said I'm one of those who thinks the factory ones were one of the better designs GM ever made, to the point where I'm looking for a set to put on my 72 (not that I don't like the derby caps that are on it now, just for a change)
Either way, nice car.

I had a C2 (65 coupe) with side exhaust. After 50 miles of a long trip, I thought my head was going to explode. Changed it to rear exhaust.

Don't get me wrong, though - your side exhaust looks excellent!

Car looks GREAT!

I wondered about that, I rode a Harley and used ear plugs most of the time. Sold it to get muse vette.
