Default Finally got my wheels on..

Avant Garde M520R in Carbon Flash finish. These took a while to get done in the Carbon Flash finish, and I wasn't sure if I would really like it or not once they were on the car. Happy to say that they came out great and I love the color, its a very close match for the factory Carbon Flash on the car. They look black from a distance but up close you can see its not. These were a hasslefree installation as I kept everything stock sizes with stock offset. I considered going with Larger wheels and tires but didn't as this is my daily driver that I drive on all kinds of roads, in traffic, up and down driveways and inclines so I didn't want to reduce the functionality and practicality of the car

Thanks for all the replies.. Yes color is the CMG grey, and wheel sizes are stock. I love the way it turned out, and also it feels a little livelier as well, I guess due to the 7 pound lighter rears and 5 pound lighter than stock fronts. I ordered from Motorsports LA in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. They have been doing a lot of C8's recently. James was who I spoke to, he's a great guy and will take care of you

Looks great! How are you liking the two-tone black/tan interior? That's our first choice. More pics of the interior please!
