Default Bought some dymags

Couldn't help myself and bought some Gen I dymags

I'm having the large center caps redone to see how I like them....














Here is a video of a slow pass

The Civil War look?

I really like them;
But I thought your car was absolutely perfect with the Fikse's.
The Admiral Blue sparkling with the same sparkle off of those wheels was simply incendiary!
Amazing the change!
Car now looks like a road racer; A VERY shiney road racer, but all it's missing is a white circle on the door with 666 in the middle.
Choice is fun!
As always, I love that car!
Nice lugnuts! ( but go longer on the front studs ) Might add to the racer look going with the deep lugnuts, but then the caps must stay off.
It's like a difft hairstyle on a supermodel; Different but certainly still super!

Yeah, nuttin' left but to plaster the car with sponsor names and you're ready for the Corvette Challenge!

I think I too liked the Fiske look better, but it sure looks aggressive with those Dymags!

Very nice, one of the few custom wheels that look like they belong on the ZR-1.

Now hold on here......
I had a buyback clause embedded into each wheel, as I knew David cannot control himself.
He went to a wheels anonymous meeting...... and bought two sets from other attendees, and options on 3 other sets.
He's following the 12 steps program..... 12 sets of wheels at once.
PSST, Hey Dave, I know of a set of.....................SHHHHH!!!!

I see those awesome PS2s on the front (my 08 Viper loved its shoes!), but what's on the back??

I think he needs to seek some professional help!!!

Wait a minute, I bought my set of Fikse from him and tried to buy the set he took of the car when he put the Dymags on. Maybe I have a problem.

They look great David!!!!

If they are successful in talking you out of them let me know I love them. I got Dymags on my old Turbo Ducati.

Unfortunately they didn't make 17 X 11's that say Callaway and Corvette. I've been told they didn't make many 17 X 11's and fewer that say Corvette / Dymag. Very happy!!!!

Fronts are 9.5 X 17 (Dymag and Callaway)

Rears are 11 X 17 (Dymag and Corvette)

I'm having 88/89 caps refinished like the wheels and see how they look.....

Thanks for the compliments!

Center caps are a personal choice. I have the Gen I on my Polo green 90. I look the look without the centercaps. I just popped the stock centercap and used the stock lugnut covers. I think the large centercaps make the wheels look to heavy........

You heathen you!
Is that SNOW????????
In proximity to your Vette?????????????
With no car condom?

Absolutely kidding!
Good man!
I move mine out into the snowy driveway myself.
It let's the car know what a pampered life it leads so it sure as heck better behave, lest it be cast out into the snow and cold!

I do like the look of the fronts the way you have done them.
I have the gen II's and like the look of the lugs.
Both ways look great, but front is greater!
