That is a great look. I didn't even notice your wheels when I saw you at the Bloomington Road Trip. I just focused on the cool plate!

Those wheels always look good on vettes. Did yours come with the center emblem or did you have to buy those separately? I need a set for mine.

The wheels look great, Max you mention closing the tire gap- is there a lowering kit that he should be using?

Looks like my stable: 2000 F150 XLT and 87 corvette. - I know-Ford and Chevy don't mix... but you can't beat them Ford Trucks.

Very nice, but you should also not take wax off the car using a Brillo Pad.
