Just realized I'm on my 8th set of wheels....
Starting with the stock wagon wheels in 1997 here is what I've had over the years:
1..Stock painted wagons 2...special high reflective painted stock wagons (supplied by paint vendor) 3...stock polished thin spokes (supplied by Reynolds wheel salesman) 4...stock 10 spoke Z06 painted wheels (supplied by Reynolds wheel salesman) 5...stock C6 chrome plated standard 5 spoke wheels (bought from forum member) 6...Iforged polished rim/brushed centers Evos (forum GP purchased new) 7...Aftermarket black spyders (forum vendor) 8...Forgestar CF5s (to be installed this spring) I may have missed some in there somewhere....what a ride!:D |
Hope you get a set you like soon!:D
|
Would be neat to see all the pictures together!
|
You need to mount tires on those Forgestar CF5's and take pictures immediately! :D
I've been waiting a long while to see them on a C5! |

Yes, I was thinking the same thing...then I realized digital cameras didn't exist yet when I got the vette! I think the internet was just starting too...:D
Impressive though, at what I paid for tire mounting / balancing last time, you've got a grand just in mounting tires! Lol Not sure what that is in your avatar, but it's pretty badazz look'n. |
And how much money have you lost on all of your wheels? :lol:

I just got my 4th set in 2 and a half years...
I know how it is. |

Makes & breaks the look! I've gone through my share as well and still not done. |

Its a damm addiction....thats what it is....:willy::willy:
I have had 6 sets of C5 wheels and 9 sets of C4 wheels. Not counting what is on the cars and the 3 sets I sold last fall, I still have 5 sets not on cars. I also have spare sets for my Impala, truck, and Charger. I like swapping them and changing the looks. See the thread below for some pictures. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...of-wheels.html |
I've swapped exhausts that many time but not wheels. That's a lot of wheels!
|
Now that I think about it, that's actually really impressive that you remember every set of wheels!

Eh, that might be a small stretch there!

I think about swapping exhausts often. Just got my second set of wheels and I have a feeling it won't be my last but I am pretty happy with them except for being much harder to clean than my C6 5 spoke.

It wasn't easy! These were my favorites, but the upkeep and the bent lips, wobbling in the rain, corrosion, and TPS issues forced me out of them. I concluded these 3-piece wheels don't belong in the snowbelt.:thumbs:

Funny you should say that...that is the main reason I've gone back to the basic 5 spoke. I used to spend close to an hour on wheels...no more!
