Default Pics please

I have a 96 Torch Red. I am thinking of getting some new rims/tires. I am needing some ideas and pictures say alot more than just me looking through so many web pages. Can anyone send me some pics of C4's that have different rims other than Sawblades? I was thinking about putting a set of black rims on the car. Any opinions on black rims on a red C4? Pics,Pics,Pics... please...

You can send them to me email address...RED96LT1@HOTMAIL.COM or post them here...

Thanks,

Tim

Do you have a website or a phone number? Are these low profile tires? Do these alter the sensors or are they not used?
