c7 vs c5 wheels

Been looking hard at possibly switching my wagon wheels for early c7 wheels. c7 wheels are in much better shape is probably the main motivation, but downside is that I would have to buy two more tires. And not sure on the looks yet.

I think the thin spoke wheels are sharp. In my opinion they look like they belong on the car. Like if a thirdgen was produced new today those are the wheels that should come on it.

what app did you use to paint your car in the photo?

Re: c7 vs c5 wheels

Realized c7 wheels are too narrow for my tire size. Especially in the front. Really clean set of wheels, but looks like they are for sale. Paint was a very rough couple minutes hack using old cs3 Photoshop portable that I have kicking around from long ago.
