Hey all for those that don’t know, my daily driver 1988 35th was sideswiped on the 31st, and the pass front and rear rims were bent. so i got a new set of C5 z06 wheels on it. they are not powder coated black yet, but in the next week they will be. let me know what you guys think. and the badges are off for the new paint job. i am not getting rid of the sawblades i am going to keep them shows and events.

You should take the front emblem off as well if your getting a repaint.
