Looks killer except for those monstrous glued on tire letters. Ruins the look. Otherwise killer. Just my opinion.
they look really cheap and of course everyone knows theyre stickers..

Tire letters ruing it for me, other than that, looks good.

The white lettering is way cool. It really sets the car apart and throws it back to a memorable era. The fact that the lettering is nice and fat looks very nice. I've seen lettering done with very tiny letters and it doesn't have quite the same effect. Nicely done. Very clean!

I'm not too crazy about the tire letters, but a very nice looking car

You have a beautiful yellow "look at me" Z06 Corvette with very tasteful white stripes, I really don't think you need the giant white letters on the tires, but all that matters is if you like the way it looks. BTW, I really like the way the spacers push the tires out and fill the wheel wells more, looks great.

1/2" F&R? No longer studs? Did you use extended shank lugs like this?

Great looking Z06!
We see a lot of the tire letting on Corvette's here in California. When we first started seeing it a few years ago I want sure what to think but over time its grown on me. I think it pays homage to an era gone bye. Plus they looking like thin wall F1 tires!

i love the look of the tire letters and the stripes. i was going for a retro hotrodder vibe. have received a lot of positive comments from random folks I run in to at gas stations, etc. it may not be to everybody's liking but it is to mine.

I always say. You bought it. Do as you please to it. Looks good. Stands out but in a good way. You pulled it off. I don't think it is proper for people to bash people's Z's on here unless critiquing mechanical missteps which are helpful most times. Physical appearance bashing is pretty rude. Mama said if ya can't say somtin nice, shut your mouth!



Oh this is JMHO.

useless on the street under normal driving conditions. haven't tracked the car yet. i tried some aggressive driving with it on and it works. needs to be dialed though. not anywhere near as good as the factory system in the c7.
