New wheels are very sharp. Great choice for your car.

New wheels are very sharp! The polished 5 spokes still looked good! Did you sell them?

New wheels are nice, but you may have added just a bit more cleaning time!

Very sharp indeed.. Also I still love the 5 spokes

These guys are just being polite, and I don't blame them, no one likes to be the bearer of bad news, but I will proceed.

The 5 spoke OEM wheels were much better looking then the ones you put on, im not sure who "helped" you decide on these new wheels but they should be considered enemies rather then friends

You've swapped in one of the nicest OEM wheels for a replica set of the worst looking OEM wheels, and im sure your in for nearly $2000 after all is said and done

Not to mention your new set is now heavier and weaker then the old set, overall its a downgrade, not an upgrade, im sorry bro

I like the look, can't offer anything good or bad on the tech end, but after all, you are talking to someone who still runs chrome wagons on his '99 black vert. That causes some on this forum to question my sanity!! Anyway, if you are happy, rock on!! Best wishes!

Let me get this straight, the Coupe is yours and the Vert is the wife's? If so...You ROCK!

Well, as long as the above is recognized as opinion rather than fact, fine. I think op's car looks 100% better with the new wheels (I was considering the ZR1 style), since I find the 5 spoke wheels a bit "quiet" and as far as strength, well, my 2 rear thin spokes had unrepairable cracks, which is why I got rid of them. Oh, my set of C7Z06 replicas cost $995.

OP,
I think your car looks really good with those new wheels. Classy.

Truth be told though, that car would probably look great sitting on cardboard boxes.
