I love the way your Vette sits and is looks on those classics. I wish my fronts were like yours...love how they "match" the rears in design compared to the Big Street Classics I'm running.

Slow your roll with the whole "f*ck your fake wheels" bro, its not like those are crazy high end to put on your $20k car.

Come back down to earth.

Oh, and the stickers say "i'm trying too hard".

Love those wheels, I have them on my C5 as well. What size tires did you go with? They look really small for the wheels. Looks almost like 295s on the back with a 12" wide wheel.

Did you forget to put the center caps on? Or did you buy the race version?

The decal is a joke man. Don't take offense to it.
I like the decals. Thanks for the advice. There is always that bright crayon that will sit there and pick apart a car. Just enjoy the pictures.
