New C6 Rims

Hey,

I just finished putting on my new rims. What do you guys think? I got them from Lakeshore Wheel and Tire in Michagan. Nice people to deal with and nice rims. I know the car will need to be lowered but for now it looks good and I'm happy with them. They are 17x8.5 with 2 inch spacers all around. What do you think?

I like those rims. But with their somewhat "animated" look, more fitting of most new cars today, I've been curious about what they might look like on a thirdgen.

Now we know. They look good, very nice.

Car and rims look good. Michigan is not that hard to spell.

Im sorry about the spelling error. I know how to spell it, I must have just been going too fast. Im sorry.

Thanks a lot for the comments guys, Im glad you like them! Im going for an alignment tomorrow and it should be set until I get new springs. I feel an improvement in the ride with the new tires. Im definately enjoying it.
