Default Got my new wheels installed yesterday....

Well I've had my C5 for a little over 3 weeks and I have the DD stereo installed, Corsa Xtreme exhaust and now my C7 Z06 replica wheels/tires installed. Now gotta start saving my coins for a supercharger.

You have been busy. New wheels look very good. Caution though, mod fever can get very expensive.

Kinda hard to see since there black, and you need a bright sunny day to show them right!

Also, were the offsets correct or did you have to use any spacers?
Thanks

I bought them from DocZ on here. They are C7 z06 replicas with c5 backsets so no wheelspacers or anything was needed.

Sorry but it looks to me like someone stole your wheel covers but they're special. (hope you keep the old ones)

I like it! I'm considering replacing my stock wheels with black ones.

Thanks everyone. I gotta admit at first I wasn't sure if I liked the black wheels but they are starting to grow on me.
