Default Photo Shoot

I went down to the beach for a little photo shoot with my new MRR wheels. I thought I'd get some good shots with a nice sunset in the background. The fog rolled in and and blocked the sunset, but sometimes you have to make the best of it. I think the shots came out pretty cool.... Kinda sinister...

I think the fog actually did you a favor rolling in like that. Those pics look great. And I agree with your description.....Sinister! I like that. Nice rims too.

I like those rims a lot. Exactly which ones are they (a link would be great, and maybe a closer photo of a wheel)? Also, what lugs did you use?

I have the black rims on Watkins Gray, but I like silver also. Just not the ones available from Chevy.

These were shot with my Canon 5D MKII. They are HDR images from three bracketed exposures.

Since I have some all season tires coming I'm also in the market for a new set of wheels for my C7 GS. I just went to MRR's website to try to determine how much a set would cost me but got the 404 message below. Can you tell us what a set costs? Thanks.

Great photos!
Looks really sinister with the fog rolling in. I'm digging it.

Great looking car and photos of it. And I can tell by looking at those magnificent wheels that they are easy to clean and maintain. I have that same camera and it sure beats the heck out of our phone cameras. Although the phone cameras are pretty good.
