Default Too Cool

I don't usually make this kind of post but just had to this time. I just won "Ride of The Week" on UntamedOctane and a $100.00 Summit Racing gift card. Dang, that's cool.

Congrats on winning Ride of the Week and the gift card. Should be good for some nice mods or just needed parts for your car.

Your car is a bad influence on me. I never was a huge wagon wheel guy and then I see your photos (I’m navy blue too) and I’m like maybe I’ll put the new tires on the wagon wheels this year. I couldn’t do it ultimately but it looks so good!

Are you lowered or stock height?

The reason I never changed them is because everyone else did. I like a little bit of "original." This is my favorite picture. It was taken by one of our club members as we were leaving for a drive...I think you can see how low it go...lol.

I wish I didn’t scrape leaving my driveway or else I’d drop it form at least a little bit.

Bah.

Hi Mike.
Those wagon wheels look great. Ive always been a fan of em.
Haven't seen em on a lowered vette, very sharp and I'm liking them even more now.
My lowered 99 vert is blue also and has the Z06 wheels on it.
Congrats on the win.
