Looks fine to me. Why crap on this persons choices out of nowhere? Do you know him/her?

Not my taste, but definitely not the worst I've seen. Too much wheel well though.

As long as we're being opinionated.
He may have questionable taste in wheels, but at least the guy you're bashing didn't buy a 'vette with a factory halo-wart. Your high mounted third brake light looks like something from the checkout aisle at Pep Boys.

Looks great to me. I like the wide stance.

no need for tacky flares or an ‘unnecessary’ 3” wider body with hard to find parts and no interchangeability with lt1 corvettes

Im not seeing anything too offensive on that white car.... Im not a huge fan of the extra emblems, but to each their own man... car looks nice otherwise.

You would have to take up the CHMSL design on my C4 with the Corvette Design Team from that era. The high-mounted light was something which was on the car when I bought it new. I had no choice in the matter.

Anyways, I think you miss the point of the owner of the white C4, who added the goofy offset wheels, poorly fit tires, hood (side) decals, "Z51" emblem (above the rub strip, no less), and those sharp exhaust tips. And that's just at first glance, as one is distracted by the 4x4 stance of the car. But thanks for your feedback, otherwise.

You are right. This one might be the worst.

But,actually, the bogus BADGE gets under my fingernails more that the wheels (which DON'T bother me hardly ever.).

Similarly, the owner of the car you're shitting on had no input on the ride-height GM chose.

You sound awfully sure, for the internet.

Look at this view, as the tires actually hang out pretty far compared to stock, and this is even with the narrow tires on these wider wheels. The rear offset is all wrong. A 96 GS coupe didn't have such a lip. Nor did a 95 ZR-1 with similarly styled wheels, sans wide lips. This car *could* benefit from the flares or wider body. Can't tell if you were being sarcastic though

Oh, I've seen some two-spoke chrome wheels on a couple cars that were (to me) MUCH worse!

Can you picture a Vette with those "spinner" type wheels (hub caps, actually) that continue to spin after coming to a stop?

Why do you care what this guy does with his car? Are you bored or just a cranky old man? Relax mate...….the nurse will be by soon to change your diaper. Cheers!
