2015 C6 of the Year Finalist

Default New Wheels

I bought a set of 360 GTU wheels from wheels4less from Gerry. Received them today with new Nitto Inov's 345/25/20's on the rear and 275/25/20's on the front. I am very pleased with the wheels and the look of the ZR1. Gerry did me right and I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to purchase wheels.Name:  IMG_0422.jpg

C7 Carbon, I think it was a little less than $700. I ordered it via Pat Scorzetti at American Hydrocarbon. If you haven't had yours off I will tell you up front it isn't a 15 minute job, you have to put the car on jake stands, remove both rear wheels, fender liners and several screws, but it isn't really that bad and having someone to help is a plus...I didn't

Good looking wheels, congrats.

Please tell me, did you tint your headlights? If so, how have they held up and have you noticed any diminished headlight power at night? Thanks.

Default Head lights

The head lights have covers on them, not tinted. They are made by RPI and about $215.00 shipped. They do reduce the brightness some, however I have HID fog lights, therefore I can still see pretty good at night..better than most cars, also I have the LED DRL's, so the turn signals are pretty bright and can easily be seen.

Look foward to some high resolution pictures, these don't do any justice to your Z or the wheels, lol

I went to that show 3 years ago with my ZO6. Lots of nice folks. Will try and make it this year as I live in the community across the street from Baypoint. Hope to see you there.

Thanks, the car is starting to turn a lot of heads! I noticed a couple of people taking pictures of it yesterday while driving along side of me!

Beautiful car! Those wheels look great on a ZR1. One of the best looking black corvettes that I have seen. Your car has a very clean, understated, and sophisticated look about it.
