New wheels
thanks for the compliments
Lowering helps out dramatically as well. I was shocked how much the wheels and the lower stance changed the whole look of the car.
I highly recommend corvettes of houston. Manny did the work and he was top notch. He even polished the wheels after he installed them

I had the base silver wheels. I followed my checkbook instead of my heart when I was looking. I am glad I did too. These were much cheaper than the factory chrome wheels. Less than $700 for the set after the core on my stock wheels.

Those rims look AWESOME on your Vette, I just ordered my LMB Coupe and i was planning on getting the Forgeline rims but these Forgeline are over 4K.
Maybe i should just save my money and get the Z06 rims instead.

I think you need to have them cut the bushings out of the rears, that makes a huge difference..
Makes body-roll a thing of the past, corners like crazy now!
I can't really see the drop? looks nearly stock in the rear? I droped mine on the stock bolts and it looks DROPPED, maybe a fingers width between fender and tires front & rear.

but for a basically free mod I am happy. You can definitely notice it on the front, the rear is not quite as noticeable. If you look in the closeup pic of the front wheel you can see the edge of the fender is right on top of the tire. Just the way I wanted it. I may drop the rear some more, but it was my understanding it is recommended to keep the rake the same as stock, which it is now

Hopefully, that will help show the drop. It is definitely lower than it was when I brought it home. A few more miles and it goes to the dealer for an alignment. BTW, they will do it under warrantee if the car has less than 3k miles on it

I know......I could care less which way the flag points. Whoever made that crap up is full of it. I checked when I went to the dealer and bought my car. 30+ vettes with flags pointing in all different directions.
Give me a break........
