Default New wheels for my Z06-------dial up beware

I just installed some new wheels on my Z06. Before and after photos. Let me know what you all think about them. They really stand out, Which is what I was looking for. No rubbing and great ride. I did not notice much difference with the shorter sidewalls. The next mod will hopefully be a new camshaft, Waiting for some more results on the "street bully".http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/v...08Vette015.jpg

Changes the whole look of the car.

When I had my car parked next to yours this weekend I realized how plain my Z looked with the factory split spoke.

Great looking shoes!

Great to catch up with you and the other guys from the forum this weekend.

I've been waiting for you to get those on! They look awesome. I've got a VR Z like yours and ordered the same wheels from 360 that they just put on their F-430 Ferrari. Hope i'm as satisfied as you are. Did you leave your coilovers at the factory setings?
