To each his own I guess..........that's all I can say.

I've never seen a C5 I liked with anything bigger than a 19/20 combo.

It is hard for me to believe that any 'vette lover can think that this vette looks "out of proportion." On this car the big wheels were executed flawlessly, as was the rest of the car IMO. I would have rather seen a proper hood on the car, but I could live with it just as it is. This and Tony La Selva's silver widebody are my favorite 2 C5s ever.
On the subject car, the execution could have benefit'd from some more planning, but overall I don't think it's horrible. It would be stressful to drive.

I want to see him stop, with those wheels, and stock brakes (which will look smaller the Honda brakes)!

How bout these 30'' beauties? Bad taste has no bounds!

Great looking car. Must ride great too. I assume he removed the shocks to further stiffen his ride.
