New Wheels installed along with a Corsa Cat Back

Got around to doing 1/2 of my 2017 mods on my bone stock 04.
Last night at work I installed the Corsa Sport cat back along with the Corsa X-Pipe. Loving the sound ! Along with that I also purchased C6 OEM Chrome wheels, new Schrader TPM's and new Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 tires.
The aftermarket C6 style 5 spokes in a C5 Z06 size that I had on the car were horribly pitting inside the barrels.......they had to go.

Also while everything was apart I cleaned and re sprayed the rotor hats with VHT Caliper paint.

Getting Started..........

Rotors painted...

Adapters.....

Old Mufflers out.......

20mm adapters painted to match rotor hats, factory studs trimmed, a little Loctie Blue added to each stud and lug nuts torqued to 120 foot pounds.

Corsa installed along with new wheels and tires, all buttoned up and back on the ground.

I like the look with the 20mm adapters....

This round done. Next up...Already have new OEM weather stripping for the B piller and both doors. just waiting for nice weather to tackle the job...

I purchased them for a member here who lives local to me but I have seen them on the Interweb many times when I was doing my research on them.. Do a Google search.... https://www.google.com/webhp?sourcei...+a+c5+corvette

Nice improvements to your car. The rotor hats really look great and a nice visual with the red calipers and new chrome rims. Big improvement in appearance with the Corsa tips and much better sound over stock. Nicely done.

Lou - the car looks fantastic. The mods you have done so far really do a lot for the car.
