Default Strange Vossen

Does This Look a little strange to you guys? From what I understand the ONLY vossens that fit a corvette are vvs087, but these are not a 087 Rim. Also they are huge 22 inch rims in the back. Maybe Fake?

What do you guys think of these specific rims on a base c6? to much to big?

What I find more strange is that parking job
What's up with that?

Vossen has several that will fit but 22s seem a bit much. Around here a pothole would take out a wheel like that.

That is 087s on my car in the profile pic though

My first thought. For a car that is actually driven, practicality would come first for me. For a garage queen that never goes anywhere, I think that the look of those wheels is fine.

At first I thought a Vossen was one of those beast things on "Grimm"...

Maybe better to use the parking brake to hold the C6 in place, rather than using that other car to do it.
