Damn car is almost as old as you LOL She looks good keep up the love on her as for the WW just get a can of flat black paint and it will change them up. Then find your new wheels when you want they still work right

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I actually like the wagon wheels. All my buddies make fun of me but I like them. This Vette is exactly what I wanted. Red, 6 speed, wagon wheels. The feels as good as it looks. Its as if it was made out of glass . Its super smooth.

wow 15 years... I truly believe that the C5 Corvette will hold its iconic styling attraction as well as the early "Sting Ray's".. its just a perfect shape that exudes "sport" and speed...
