Finally after 14 months

I put the new wheels that I bought from JWMototing here on the Forum on the Vette. I needed to wear down the rubber on the other tires before I could justify buying new tires for these. I know the first thing said will be that it needs lowered and that is coming but the speed bumps at office parking garage are huge and it will probably bottom out.

Here are some pics that I shot this weekend after the rain finally stopped

Nice looking wheels, really dress up your Vette' - I have similar wheels and I really like them!

Your car and wheels look great! I understand your concern about lowering. While I love the look of a lowered C5 it is not practical in my neighborhood. Enjoy!
