Default Ruff Racing Wheels
Anyone have any pics of their c5 with some Ruff Racing Wheels, in particular the R281 chrome. I want to get a set but they are only 9.5" wide in the back and want to see what they look like. Thanks everyone.

Hey D.Medic, did you lower your car at all or did the 20" fill out the wheel well?

Default lowered
My car is lowered with bushings cut in that picture. They rubbed. I put my bushings back in and left the bolts lowered. No rubbing now and I think the car sits better. I didn't like the rear sitting so much lower then the front, looked like I had a bunch of bricks back there. Here is another poor pic I took to show someone the car now.

Are the lips polished aluminum or are they brushed? It looks like they don't ever shine up like chrome like CCWs for example?
