Thanks for helping. Now can I loan you some cleaner and a wheel brush. Oh I forgot they are clean. Maybe you should tag your picture so people will know.

Like your wheels no one will know when they are dirty... I have to stop this. In fact IN MY OPINION those wheels are very cool. They just do not photograph well..

Seems like you should smoke less whatever you are smoking. This picture shows C6 with LS3, did you post the wrong picture?

Maybe you can put it in the C7, LT1 #s are sounding sketchy!
And you're not smokin anything with those 205 tires! Nice poser car though.
