New wheel pics
I went and got the new wheels last Saturday. Cleaned them up today and put them on. I also undercoated the wheel wells so they are nice and black again. I love the way the car looks now. Looks 100 times better. It could use a drop but it still looks good
I also washed and waxed the car
Here are some pics.

Thanks guys 
Nice catch
I threw the wheels on quickly and forgot they have directional tires. I needed to drive it around a little so I could re-torque the adapters. I got the tires facing the right way now.

The car looks awsome with the new wheels! Huge improvement over the old ones. I would think about getting a good alarm cause it appears a FRY GUY snuck in there while you weren't looking.

HUGE improvement

very nice.. looks sharp indeed. For me personally, those wheels in chrome/polished would make it look better.. but there is nothing wrong with the way it is~!

He is trying to rent the house out so he is never there. So he never waters his grass and now its all dead. He has had the house for 2 months and has only watered his lawn once
I guess he doesnt understand that you have to water grass for it to stay green. Junior Member

Black is just amazing! I wish I could tint my windows that dark it's illegal here but I am going to put the lighter shade anyway.
Nice wheels! I always liked the ZR1's but the boss wanted C6's

Huge improvement I think. I wouldn't change a thing on that car as is. Wheels are a big expense, especially with those tires, but those just make the car.
