Default C6 split spokes on my C5
Finally got around to getting these mounted up. Ditching the run flats made a huge improvement!

I definitely will! Snapped this one tonight when I got home just before the rain got here. I love the new look! Got a lot planned here soon and will be posting up a bunch of pics.

Eradispeed rotors and powder coated calipers front and back, Corsa Tiger Shark exhaust, LT headers, K&N FIPK, C6 Z51 sway bars, and a complete audio overhaul. Been collecting parts for a while now. Lol

Nice. I had these on my 02 when I bought it a couple years ago. Liked them a lot. They got wiped out last year when storms came through Jasper and pine tree took out the garage my car was in. Was doing tranny and gear swap and wheels were off the car. Totally missed the car. Running C6 spyders right now. Have a set of Sport Muscle GS 19x10 20x12 that are going on to go with my L5's. If you like some good music my buddy Greg sings over at tthe Jefferson Street Pub. Be there March 21. Take care

Thanks for the feedback guys! Spot on in regards to the non run flats. LOL. I am amazed at how much better the ride is and how much road noise is gone. Night and day difference.
