I LIKE IT. I LIKE IT. I can definitely appreciate the fact that someone has a set of ***** and is willing to try and do something different with their ride whether it looks good or not. No offense guys but ALOT of vettes on this forum are very boring and or they look just like the last vette that someone just posted (and there's nothing wrong with that) I’m just as guilty, we all do it, same wheels (Welds, CCW, Z06s). All the after market accessories are the same bull shi# you buy from Mid America or Ecklers, what ever THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME! It might not be your style but I give the guy mad props for being different.

yea 20s are the biggest you can go on C5s and still look good. anything bigger and the car loses its proportion.

So....how do you think a Ferrari would look with a blower and a hood scoop and side exhaust?

What are mad props?

20s are borderline as well. Maybe it's just me, but boat anchors don't deserve to be on Vettes.

whats the big deal?

20" rims or 22" rims its all the same?

By increasing the rim size by 2 more inches make it that bad? If thats the case then 20" are just as bad since they are 2" bigger then the orginal 18" rims.

See rims are just like penises, every inch can make a hell of a difference!
