Tony, I would have done the same thing you did. The 17's look great on your car. I will eventually get there but for now these seem to be pretty nice. I couldn't be happier.

BTW, I do have some 1600X1200 shots if anyone would like for your background or screensaver. I sent Tony a few shots.

Very nice, glad to see you stayed with the classic 15 in. look. I would not go any bigger than 16 in. on a C3 and I would only go to 16 in. because you really can't tell the difference from 15 inchers. .

Eddie looks great! if I may add I think the addition of VDB 8" rear spring bolts (threaded 1.5" from bottom) and cut 1.75 coil off the front springs would finish off your already killer looking Vette. IMHO.

Looks great!! The 15inch TTII's are 15x8 with 3.75 BS so they get pushed out slightly. Makes them look just perfect!!

Looks absolutely fantastic on a black car. Beautiful my friend.
