I can feel the love

I'll take pictures of my old tires and show you exactly why it was so important to change rims/tires immidiatly. I got these rims and tires for cheap, and I've got 4 more that I can use for drag tires and burnout tires and still keep the same look.....

I actually like the way they look, but I guess I'm the only one.

If you got them cheap, sell them for a profit.......

On that note, not a fan of them on your car, personally i would have kept the stock wheels over those pictured.....

The only 4th Gen wheels that i think look on our cars are 17" WS6 wheels, and the Z06 wheels.......

Yeah, I got a good deal, thats the main reason I put them on. The other reason was I REALLY needed tires, my back two were complete slicks and the front two had no outside edge left, so when I got the deal on wheels/tires for less than I could just get tires I jumped on it. As for not wasting money on adapters for these rims, I will need those adapters to go to my dream rim eventually anyways.

Its really funny that everyone on the forums hates this look, and everyone in town that has seen the car likes em :lala:

I've still got them, I need to do a little cleaning on the wheels and possibly polish them up before I sell them or trade them for something.

I definitly do not like the way 3rd gen rims stick out with a 4th gen rear.....
