I have a CR on the way myself, it would be nice if it got here before Carlisle but I'm not worried if it doesn't.

Nice. But I would lower the lowering bolts and drop the car a little bit.

The wheels sure are nice.....but oh to have to clean them! I spend too much time cleaning my stock z51 wheels. You'll have to remove the wheel from the car to clean the inside dish. And all those spokes.....

And ruin the driving experience, scraping every road imperfection in sight. Lowering doesn't make any sense, I have been there with the C6. Looks (?) debatable.

Simply beautiful. That is the color of the one I have on order. I ordered the painted roof like yours, but, because of constraints I had to change. I do like your better.

Once again, Larry you are totally wrong, lowering on fac bolts scrapeds nothing....except the flexible air dam that you can scrape with stock height too. A c7 is not a c6.....
