I have to say that usually I don't like wings and flares on a vette, but that one looks really sharp! Especially with those wheels! Go for it!

The stance makes it work for me. Black wheels and ground effects are not usualy my thing unless they are done right. Those look good.

body kit happens to be from Ecklers. I beleive the color is a custom based off of Farrari red with a touch of gold flake, very subtle. My wife doesnt really care for the rims but i think it looks sick! Kinda has that viper eater look to it.

Since you asked.... They're OK, but look too frail to me (I know they are plenty stong) compared to the rest of the car. Unless you already have them, try these 17x9's from SLP performance for $304 ea:

that looks great, but will a 9 inch rim fit without flares, or offset trailing arms?
I also dont think I want this...
too much spacer?
