Looks good. Love the black C5s with black C6Z wheels. I have the C6Z wheels black with polished lip but I kind of wish I just had all black.

No the front tires on the new rims actually have around 70 to 80 percent left. I think its a bad angle. I would highly recommend them. They are bridgestone Re 01. They are really sticky and grip well I really like the c6 style wheels as well on there. Any one have any cool detailing ideas or tips to pass on. I'm always up for any way to make my Vette look good !

Its pretty sweet.. It comes with a cleaner liquid wax and a final "polishing wax". Also a final detail spray, the wax and polish and even spray has a black tint. It also, adds a black tint to those dang rock chips. only negative is it leaves a black tint on your hands.
