Default pic request.......

looking for photos of a black c5 (prefer z06) with factory 5 star c6 wheels, just the standard 2005-2007 c6 wheel, looking for polished, not chrome, or even the regular aluminum color, moving this direction and wondering what the look will be,
thanks

Not a Z06, but you get the point.

This setup does require a spacer for the rear wheels, to get the tire flush with the fender. Also, my car (as shown) is lowered on stock bolts. These are direct take offs from a C6.

Thanks!

The wheels sizes I'm not totally sure about, but I believe they are 19 x 10 in the rear, and 18 x 9.5 in the front

The tires are 285/35 19 in the rear and 245/40-18 in the front. I am sure about the tire size.

I have absolutely no rubbing, but obviously lowering the car made inclines a bit more tricky to approach without scraping. No big deal though, as long as I'm careful.
