Any chance you can chop the antenna down without losing reception where you are at? Hacksaw and vacuum cap painted black. Wheels look great and i like the color combo.

The rims looks great.

But I have to admit, the C5Z06 is one of the few cars that has one of the best looking rims from the factory.

Looks good, but a drop and some light tint would top it off

Looks very sharp and clean! The comp grey/anthracite color goes very well with the blue.

Love the tires. Way better than the stockers. Plus, my brother works for the company so I got all four for $700.00

looks great!
my car came with chrome aftermarket wheels, and I often think of going back to stock. You have the best of both worlds with an updated stock looking wheel

what size front tire, which model contenental tires, and can you hook a brother up with another set of tires at that price, or even a little more.

I'd be happy to make it worth your brother's while for a set of tires ...
