Hahahahah should have gone with 24"s 22's are overplayed yo!

It's an automatic... a coupe, it has got 22s and about 500#s of audio equipment... Probably skipped on maintenance because all the money is in "dem rims" .

Low and behold the Slowest C5 out there.

I have 20's on mine front and rear see the link. I like them and my kids picked them out for me.

We like big wheels and nice toys.

One word: HORRIBLE

Looks like a Hot Wheels car.

Why would anyone want to make a Vette look like a pimped out Hummer?

That is one of the mods on my vette. I just want to give Foosevette
and the CF a look.

By the way my kids named her "Hot Wheels".

I was gonna pull punches but after seeing it



It looks TERRIBLE .

Totally impractical. Where do you drive with little black rubber bands? Must ride like a stage coach! Did I mention it looks terrible?!?

Anything to excess can be too much .

There are a lot of things that look good, and then you get them out in the real world and decide they just don't really work. Those wheels are not one of those things. If they were nice looking wheels it might be a different story but they are hideous. He is going to blind a trucker on the interstate and get his *** run over. Not to mention that when he decides he needs to stop his calipers and rotors are going to explode after the brake fluid boils.
