Default New Wheels Installed Forgestar CF5

Finally had a chance to put the new wheels on the Z. They are Forgestar CF5 in stock sizes 19/20. I know they may not be for everyone, but I've always loved a five spoke design. Plus they are a huge advantage for cleaning, the stock wheels with the carbon brakes were a little pain staking. Huge shout out to PK Auto Design for the great price and fast shipping.

Looks amazing man. The 5 spoke design is nice, you just need to lower your car. Other than that, it's perfect!

How steep is the driveway? Because your car sits higher than mine and i have an awkward driveway and i don't rub. Yours is the Z07 package right? Cause we're talking about 4x4 here lol

Are you guys allowed to alter your driveway entrance in SC? I know here in Southern California you need special permits and even with that they mostly dont allow you to touch the entrance at all.

I know the feeling. When I sell my house in a couple of year and get another one, I will get one with a bigger garage so i can add more toys to the stable.
