Beautiful car man, the chrome wheels are a little much but still look very nice. From the first couple residential pics it looked like you live in the meadowvale area, anyways great car man.

Beautiful car! I'll also go out on a limb and say I actually like the rims as well. Very nice. Its kind of funny (and I think this happens anytime a new model of a car comes out) but at first I only kind of liked the c6 body style. But now everytime I see a C5 I realize how much better the C6 looks. It is really the natural progession of the C5's lines.

I hope you continue to hang around the forums as well as keep us updated with the state of your car!

Heres the Auto-X Pics









Thanks all for the comments once again I do plan on hanging around here and hopefully an active part of this on-line community.

As far as the S/C goes, I'm looking closely at the Procharger setup, I have a Vortech unit on my Grand Am but they've been dragging their heels a bit with the C6 kit so I'm willing to try Procharger out, I'm also trying to see if I can put the same kit (with some modifications of course) onto the TrailBlazer SS I'm picking up in a week or 2.

I must say, seeing some pics of those wheels in action I am warming up to them. They come on a bit strong when viewed straight on, but from an angle they aren't too bad.

If you've got more pics, I'm sure everyone would like to see them...

I like those wheels, but am not partial to chrome bling at all. In gunmetal grey they would be 100%.

Think they'd be better in gunmetal or black?

Flat black is a different look I have seen once or twice - looked better than gloss black, but I have always had a weakness for gunmetal/metallic grey.

I'm just asking because those are the 2 colours I've been thinking about doing the centre piece in and I'm at a loss for which will look better with that orange.
