Some of it might be the that the car needs to be lowered a bit to perfect the look?

Your correct about the delete option. I mean if you do not want to drive fast who needs it?

Not a fan of black wheels but those look great.

Those wheels look great! Especially with black exterior.

I agree. They look flat. Need some concave with 345 on it.

I believe that should be "you're" not "your."

It's not as much about driving fast as it is having a well-designed car with a JC Whitney piece of crap attached as an afterthought. I'm sure I can drive the car plenty fast without it looking like I made a stop at a trailer park to get it modded.

2 things I'm not liking about wheels these days.

1st I would like for the black wheel fad to be over with.....actually I'd have preferred it never started to begin with. (sorry guys who have em/love em, I'm just not a fan)

2nd While some of these wheels look pretty sweet....where's some wide lip versions?
I miss a deep dish wheel .....guess that's showin my age eh?

Lol at expecting the world to cater to your personal taste. I'm glad everyone doesn't like the same thing, who wants to see everyone personalize their vehicle the exact same way?

This thread hasn't been updated in a while. I know there are several members that have aftermarket wheels on their C7's who have yet to contribute to this thread.. There are also a few members who posted pictures here early on but it seems those photos were likely moved and no longer visible.

Lets see them!!

It's all good. I'm actually glad you did that as it's a great subject. I was hoping they would merge your thread into this one instead of just shutting it down. I love aftermarket wheels on these cars and you kind of woke a sleeping giant which is a good thing. This thread had evidently been forgotten about but when I saw your thread title, I immediately remembered this one. Hopefully now that it's back to the top of the threads, we can get some updates to it. I know there are a lot of C7 that got new wheels since the last post here.
