Decided to change things up a bit. Added new wheels Iforged Daytona with matte black center and polished lip. 19x10 / 20x11 with Nitto Invo tires. Also added new side markers and turn signal lamps from the old black cherry side markers and signal lamps. Here's a few pics:

Old setup:

Thanks guys! Well after 5yrs I grew tired of the old look so I need to change things up a bit. Much easier to change looks than to upgrade to another vette..

The new rims look great! The polished lip makes all the difference.

Looks great man! Love the balance between black and red. And I agree - much cheaper to change looks than change cars lol.

Looks good! Appears to be an aggressive fitment, too. What are the offsets of the wheels?
