Default Those europeans.....

Check out the 18th pic which is the 3rd one from the bottom. Impressive body and wheel tire combo. The comments with the photo's are not mine and don't represent my views.

Found this on the web...looks the same as the car f6john was referring to. Pretty wild wide body and crazy wheels

Copied from the web
"The German company of WITTERA offers a complete programme for the Chevrolet Corvette C5 model. Basically the house is known as a registered car maker for sophisticated interpretations of classic cars under the label Retro-Ma.de (which is also the website of the firm). Thanks to their know-how and long-standing experiences the Ludwigsfelde-based specialists can offer a wide and flexible range of high quality components for the iconic American sports car. That is also one amongst the reasons why WITTERA conversions not only push German license plates through the wind.

Hey, those are better pics than the one I found! Thanks, it is so radical I can't decide if I like it or not. I would have to sell my FRC to afford those upgrades which would kind of defeat the purpose anyway .

Not for me but you have to appreciate the unique look. The "shocking" green is really kind of cool.
