Default Black spyders on my torch red

Just got my new wheels installed. The pics don't really do it justice, but I think it looks great!

Not real fan of black wheels, but on your car, they look very good. Nice mod you did.

Looks good... I like having the red stripe on the lip, it separates the wheels from the tires...

I think you got your first "lower it" hit above me... Get ready for more...

Yeah, lowering it would make it look much better. This is the first corvette I have ever had. Just got it about four months ago. I need to make sure I stop scraping on everything before I lower it

Man that looks great! When I first lowered mine I just removed the front bolts and adjusted the rears... Your vette really has a nice theme going

wheels look great!

..but yeah you do seem to be riding a bit higher than usual. in the one photo it looks like a five finger gap on the rear passenger side but that could also be from the way you angled up the driveway. a little lower, even on stock bolts, would really streamline your look and scraping shouldn't be an issue until you go really low.
