Love the new wheels, but you have to get Z06 fenders on the rear! Sorry, but on stock fenders, it looks kind of like my charger I had in the late 70's, which was cool, back then, but not so much now. Still love the wheels though!

YOU are a brave man! Nice wheels, will look very nice on the "wide body" car you eventually put together. Just wait until then to drive 'em!

Nice wheels, who makes them and what sizes are they? Looks like you have 12" wide on the back.

Yeah, very cool wheels you have. Now you have to get that rear wide body. Your current look has been out of style for over 25 years or so. Not trying to be rude, just pointing out an old fact.

Wide body that Vette and you are back in there!

Good looking wheels. I am planning on similiar sometime in the future, only in gray. You really do need to do a wb for looks and/or get some Z06 style splashes for protection!

Nice wheels. If you lived in New Jersey you would have a ticket faster than a speeding bullet. The wheels cannot be outside the wheel well. You would be towed.

Oh please, oh please tell us all that there IS a widebody in your future? Those are beautiful wheels, but you really need to functionally and visually get those rears back inside the bodywork...............sooner rather than later....
