Well, when it's wet anyway. I'm thinking of going with the same midnight blue metallic or Jade green/grey.Which color do you guys think would look best? I've gone back and forth. I'm leaning more towards the Jade.

Yeah I screwed up when picking sizes, I want more tire but these will do till next time around. Besides, I'm puting sportlines on inplace of the pro kit I have now so it'll look a little better now.

Don't get me wrong though, it looks great otherwise.

I like it with pepperoni, green olives and musherooms.

Extra cheese, sauce, and thick crust.

And well done.

I love the rims. If I ever buy rims for my car they are going to have a very deep dish, I just love the look of that.


I bet you wash that car more than 2 times a week, I would never buy a black car *they look awesome, but damn the upkeep is nuts*

I like the car and keep the color but ditch the rims.

Too distracting from the rest of the car and the anything resembling the ZO6 look is played out and I never thought looked good on thirdgens in the first place.

later

The rims are 18x9 Centerline Sundance Lazers. Yeah yeah, the tires are small, I know That'll get fixed next time around. The Z06 look may be played out here on TGO but I have never seen them on a thirdgen in person, Ofcourse you're going to see a lot of'em on the web.
