Default New Wheels
Purchased some slightly used 18/19 wheels/tires from a good friend and I am very happy with the new look. Going to lower the car on the stock bolts in the next few days.

Although I am a fan of black wheels, this combo looks good to me!

Thanks.... I don't have a specific measurement on how low to go as I going to base it on look. I am going to lower it as far as the stock bolts will allow and then take it from there.

Thanks guys. I really like the Z06 wheels and have been struggling with whether or not to change them out. My buddy gave me a great deal on these as he recently completed a GS conversion on his C6 vert and purchased wider wheels for it.

PS - The factory Z06 wheels are not for sale.
