Default C7 with deep concave wheels driving...

Ok, so I was bored and thought Id throw a PS together for you guys/gals. Put on some Vossen wheels, lowered it and took off the Stingray/CORVETTE emblems. Also while lowering it, I decided to push the wheels out a tad to give a little more of an aggressive stance (spacers). One other thing, I changed the wheels I PS'd on from a bright silver finish to a more Comp Grey look/finish. Hope everyone enjoys. Oh, cant forget the custom plate!

Nice
If you get REALLY bored I would like to see the following experiment. Z51 with base (18/19) wheels BUT with tires that have a 1/2 inch taller sidewall so that overall tire/wheel diameter is still like the 19/20 Z51 setup. I KNOW there are negative cornering consequences to this but I would REALLY like to see how it would look. Thanks.

Much better... These things have a serious wheel gap when they are stock!

Rear looks good...front needs to be tucked a tad more.

Well, the lettering on the back being gone actually does look better. Wouldn't have thought that before.

Looks awesome but I would take the back emblem off too. I would only leave the side stingray on the car.

I plan on removing the corvette and the stingrays on the side. I think it looks way cleaner.

Very nice art wok, but deep dish wheels mean short A arms. In this case, you have no neg. camber on the back and you have replaced the independent axle with a stick axle. You will have to replace the front fenders every week.

Ok, first of all, thank you to the guys who gave compliments. Secondly, some of you take my renderings too seriously. First and foremost, Im a car guy and know how cars work, and usually try to do my renderings to what the car could actually look like, but some (like this pic) are just done for fun. Meaning, I know you're not going to be able to get some huge deep concave wheel on these cars, but its fun to add these things and see what theyd look like.

Im not usually a fan of a stock car, so I change a lot when rendering cars and on my own vehicles. To me this is just pure fun to see the potential these cars, or any car for that matter, has/could have. So, read into them as much as youd like, but for me, its just to make something look good. Well, what MY mind thinks of as good.

Oh, and to the guy who made the comment of "the stock car looks 1000x better". To you sir, I say .
