Default Got my new wheels put on today!

Just wanted to share a few pics of my new setup:

ForgeStar CF10 Piano Black
19 x 10 fronts
20 x 12 rears

Michelin Pilot Sport Super Sport
335/25/20 rears
285/30/19 fronts

The Pilot sports have much better traction than I thought they would.

They look good...and thank you for going black. Gives the car the seriousness it deserves.

Traction is a good thing. I love Callaway corvettes. Nicely done sir.

Absolutely, I always go with black wheels on my sports cars. It just looks sinister.

Thank you for the compliments! The color is actually factory. It is Night Race Blue. It is a very rare color. Mine is the 1 of 1 Z06 Night Race Blue Callaway Edition for 2013 year model.

Love the car, but the rear just looks off to me. The silver callaway badge, and those chrome things around the exhaust look ricey IMO.

Mean looking car. Reminds me of my Dad's Callaway...2012 GS in Carbon Flash Metallic with 19/20 OZ racing wheels in matte black.
