New Wheels :) take two.....

Well I have had the car for about 5 months now and I think I have settled on my wheels. First I had wagon wheels which had to go, then C5 z06 which were OK, now finally I have settled on some C6 polished 5 spokes. They look AWESOME on the red IMO. Also side not any one who is running run flats remove them now, It feels like I bought a new car. The goodyears were horrid compared to my new Hankooks

When I got it.........

Getting there......

And finally I think I'm done

Your car looks great.

I like the C6 5 spoke chrome on the C5, Maybe I am a bit biased.

Very nice!

I'm a weird guy here and actually like the Wagon Wheels and don't care for most of the wheels that guys replace 'em with.

However, those C6 wheels are absolutely stunning!
