Default My official "Got My C7" Thread! W/new HRE WHEELS and Caravaggio D-Wheel (Pic Heavy)

Ok...so I got my C7 1 month and 4 days ago and Im just getting around to posting pics up. This was a retirement gift to myself and retirement is just a tad bit sweeter with this in my life. I ordered her March 21st and Picked her up June 13th.

I got my HRE FF01 Great White Wheels a few days ago from Gerry at WHEELSFORLE$$ and dealing with him was a pleasure. Best customer service you can ask for. You email or call him and hes there. Same goes for John who I got the Caravaggio Steering wheel from..top notch customer service and quality product. Big shout out as well to Nyvetteguy along with Mike's C5 who I met on this forum and he offered to helped me install the MGW shifter! I actually didnt lift a finger and he did everything for me....cant thank him enough. If any of you were wondering... the shifter works like a charm and the shifts are much smoother and its nearly impossible to miss a gear...a must have mod if you ask me. My only other plans for the car is to tint the windows and maybe lower it on the stock bolts.

wheels are sick! The steering wheel finishes off the interior. Well done.

Thanks for the wonderful comments guys! At first I was a little nervous going white and wondered if I made the right decision but after putting them on all that doubt went straight out the window! Noticed I'm getting a little bit more "love" out there on the street too when I take her out lol

That is simply stunning.

The C7 has a bit of an exotic look on its own, and the addition of the white wheels really adds to its exotic look.

Very well done.
