Default What Up! First time Posting

First time on this board. Love my C7 and I have spent more than I want to admit on upgrades, but it was worth every penny! Exhaust and Intake, and a lot of exterior carbon fiber parts.

Sweet ride, although I'm partial to blade silver

Are those true Z06 wheels/tires on your ride? The rears look really wide...

they were on the car when I bought it from the dealer, I think the previous owner or the dealership put them on (the pic in autotrader had two sets of rims). Any ways I was not going to buy it without the black rims. They are really wide, I measure the rears with a ruler from side to side and they were right at 13", there may not be quite that much rubber on the street but they are crazy wide.

Very nice. What year and trim level is the car? Just a little suggestion... Swap at the rear wheels for ones that actually fit. They not only don't look right they can damage the quarter panel. You can contact forum vendor DocZ and get replica wheels that look exactly the same but in a proper size like mine (traded in c7) below.

Welcome to the forum. The cars a beauty for sure. Love the Blade Silver, but some say I may be a bit biased.
