Thanks guys, I have 5% tint all around. I usually don't get bothered by the police unless its late night... I think the ballin rims give them a bad impression until they talk to me lol!

People on the local boards are telling me I should NOT have these wheels on a corvette, are they crazy? I personally love the way it looks now, but then again 90% of them are ricers here...

WOW! I'm usually not a fan of highlight painting of inserts, however in this case they look awesome and add a unique individualization to the car.

well done!
