Default New C6 rims

I saw the new C6 rims and they are better looking than the first ones that came out- IMHO the first C6 rims were kind off flat but that's just my .02, now that these new ones are out, they look a little bit like the IMOLA's - only mine the IMOLA's have thicker spokes and and have lips

IMOLA's GT5/Design 21

Look at the GM QX1

I have the design 22, but I personally don't see the resemblance in either.

Looks like a thin spoke version of Torque Thrust style wheels. IMO it looks like a step backwards.

Here's another shot of the new C6 rim...I too am not fond of this new rim style (IMO). I like the C6Z style though...

I think they look like C5 rims....only ugly! Glad I bought C6 OEM take-offs from a 2007.

Default Hood decal stripe

I just placed an order for an 08 model and can't wait to drive it home. Just wondering if anyone know where to find the exact hood decal stripes as shown. There are quite a few styles available out there but I want mine simple (just the outline stripes only instead of solid stripes). They look sweet. Thanks.

I think they are better than the first design C6 wheels, but still could be better.
