Default Wheels and Tires

Brother I love the way that car looks especially the wheels and tires. Are the wheels C6 Z or just standard C6 non wide body size? Also what tire size are you running? Those would look good on a silver Z I have my eye on. Thanks and this is for you:

You have a gorgeous car there, BUT...in the real world of street driving, I hope that you have bought a pallet load of those front splitters

Wow that is a nice Z! It really makes me sad that this car is turning into a classic with less and less on the roads. Enjoy!!!

Dude...you seriously are just going to post multiple threads of the car you've posted multiple threads about already showing the same pictures over and over? You're car is clean man...but damn...cmon now. Then to say "enjoy"...pretty arrogant if you ask me.

To be fair you did post the exact same thread in 2 different forums:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...-my-build.html

and the same exact thread here a few months ago:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-z...-the-c5-z.html

I wish I could drive a car that low around here. Mine barely makes it into my garage at stock "4x4" height, scrapes the air dam like crazy but just misses scraping the paint. Middle of nowhere PA is made for pickup trucks sadly.

Everyone that frequents this forum knows that if James starts a thread it's going to have pics , that's part of his personality, Hell if my ride shined like his I would be posting pics daily (looking great by the way ) it's part of who he is, he has paved the road for many new Corvette owners that dream of getting their ride to the status that his is, it's easy to forget that most of us arrived here with a dream, James has and will continue to inspire numerous members in his quest.
Looking great my friend

Yea dude posted this same thread last year. I said the car looked good and well taken care of, I just wasn't a fan of the spoiler and imo had a little too much going on ect "Personal Opinion". Constructive criticism! which is usually the kind of feedback you get when these kinds of threads go up. Long story short dude was replying with "GTFO" "No one asked your opinion" A bunch of private messages ect. Ridiculous stuff. Guy is basically just fishing for compliments to make himself feel better or something. Who know and who gives a ****...

Well this thread took a turn.

I wasn't talking about James...he can post as many pics and fish for as many compliments as he wants. I like his Z so I'm cool with it.

That's part of what this forum is about. Proud guys fishing for compliments. Vette pride can be an emotional thing.
