Not another "new wheels installed" post......

It seems like veryone has jumped on the wheel and tire upgrade this winter. Well, I did too.

I installed them last night and went out for a small drive. Here are some early morning pictures. I will have more when the car is cleaned.

Great looking wheels, goes perfectly with the vert!! Not to change the subject, but... Your rear brakes (not breaks) look different than stock C4 brakes, are the rotors 13" and calipers relocated? Please enlighten me, TNX, Mark

I'm not a big exterior mod guy but some window tint and some nice wheels really can set your C4 apart from the rest of the pack. You have done a nice job of leaving the pack

Unfortunately, the cost for the rims was more than anticipated so using the 1 piece and painting them gives somewhat of the same look.
