Default Dropped on New Shoes

Got a nice deal on some chrome repro c5z's and tires for my vette and also installed a new front leaf spring, the old one had stripped height adjustment bolts so i couldnt lower it, well thats replaced and now sitting low.

Very nice - the chrome C5Z wheels really look good and are one of my favorite wheels for the C5.

The chrome Z06 rims look great. Nice looking C5

The Z06 rims look great on your Camaro too.

Car looks GREAT! Very very sharp, the wheels do a lot for your ride.

I also love the corner light housings and LED's! Though I could be biased

I commend you for that! I'm driving on Mass roads... That's the only reason I haven't lowered mine.
