New Corvette guy

What up guys?! Not new to forums but new to the corvette life. This is my first corvette. 2023 1lt. Ordered and received it this past June. Love the car. Changed the wheels to brixton forged rf10 bronsze wheels. C7 carbon front splitter and side skirts. Lowered 1”. Looking for a few more mods. Nothing crazy.

I like your wheels. Did the manufacturer increase the offset or do you have spacers? Mine are offset so no need for spacers. The change in appearance is quite noteworthy.

Welcome aboard! I like the bronze wheels as well. I have the same white and black theme but a HTC and a full-length black strip...what color is the interior? Mine is natural mulan...the bronze wheels bring it all together for me...and certainly makes a nice statement on yours! May I suggest a black tipped exhaust and black out heat sheilds ?...you mentioned a few more mods....

the wheels are increased to optimize offset. No spacers. Thank you
