nice find.
those wheels are throwing me off, looks too thick to be thinspokes but the car also looks too unmolested to be sporting aftermarket wheels with it's oem ride height and oem tires.
but maybe I'm just over thinking it

Gonna tint it tomorrow, and I was thinking about lowering it on the stock bolts but I am doing some research on the pros/cons of that. I woulda been happier with chrome ZO6 wheels but those will do for now. It's all stock but the wheels, car only had 7,100 miles on it when I picked it up last Friday.

Edit- I need a skip-shift eliminator any specific one or they all the same?

Nice...'cept who would have swapped the nice OEM C5Z wheels for those spokes???

I'd be getting rid of those rims, PRONTO!

Anyhow, I'm a mod ***** though.

Enjoy. Congrats..

This one works well and is about as cheap in price as you'll find.

Also, you might determine if you need a column lock bypass or not.
