Default New Wheels :)

Well I have had the C5 for about 2 months now and Love it. I just recently put a new catback on the car and just the other day I put some new wheels on as well. My friend upgraded from his C5 Z wheels to C6 Z wheels and let me have his, so i figured I would post a few pics....

1000 times better than the wagon wheels, makes it look like a different car. I could never understand why GM put those god awful wagon wheels on the C5. Just ruins the car.

It's not that I hate the wagons, but they make the car look so much older. Great improvement!
