I'm not a fan of black wheels, but yours is an exception. Especially with what other things you done to the car. Nice job.

thanks for all of your positive feedback guys. It was a long process with the wheels since I got them covered in black spray paint but the result was well worth the wait. The carbon side skirts and a couple other small mods will be on for Carlisle Corvettes in August!

Love the look, but really love the sound! That's the way a vette should sound!

How does it drive with the 18" wheel and meaty tire in the back compared to the old setup?

I'm guessing you drive on the street with that setup.

BTW, Looks great!!
