My Corvette(s):
Default C6 rims

The first time I saw a pic of those rims, I instantly fell in love with them. Wondering if anybody is going to scoop up a set soon to compliment there Callaway. I think they would look nice on any F-body or Vette. I know someone has to have the itch for them. I wasn't too thrilled with the new ZO6 rim design though. Take care fellas..........

Johnny, I was amazed that w/in a week of production deliveries, C6 "repro rims" were already being delivered by the aftermarket

They may be cheaper than GM on that - I personally dig the dark smoke colored ones you do not see often on C6's

Can someone put their photo chop skills to work to see how a Callaway would look like with C6 rims. I still haven't seen a picture of some dark colored rims.

I just recently saw the C6 for the first time in Woonsocket R.I.(Simon)Chevrolet and let me tell you those wheels look sweet.

Sweet? Really? I thought they gave it a bold, masculine look.

How's this? I think this is SurfNSun's car:



Get me a full-side shot of an aerobody and I'll try to chop it on there.

Ok, here's a better one. This one looks more normal because the side is in the sun as are the wheels. The previous had sunny wheels and shady car. I cribbed the pict from the "picture" thread.

I think I like the dymags better. They are 90's cool, like the car.

Chris, I can chop those if anyone wants to see it. They are both angled a tad, so it'll look weird. I don't have amazing photoshop skills to fix stuff like that.
