Default Chrome Rallies

I'm thinking of buying Chrome Rallies to replace the red ones I currently have on. Has anyone used them on a red vette and have pictures? I'd like to see what they might look like.

I would not recommend chrome rally wheels AND chrome beauty rings AND chrome center caps AND chrome spinners. Too much chrome from too many components on each wheel, IMO.

Why not just get a chromed wheel or polished aluminum wheel, instead?

If you really like the rally wheel look, (I do) just repaint what you have with Argent Silver.

....just my .02.... (beautiful car )

Thanks ...
Just thinking of doing something different . argent silver Rallies look good on original or almost original cars in my opinion. I'm a little too far gone on the modified side.If I try the other, I might just go for the ZR1 Chrome wheels without Adaptors required.

I have thought about it as well. 7T1 is right that is a lot of chrome.

71 is right - you don't use rings on chrome ralleys. These are 16x8 Wheel Vintiques with 255/50/16 Comp TA's.

Actually, your car would look stunning with C2 knock-off [turbo] wheels on it.

The Wheel Vintiques option looks really fine on the two examples shown. Like, really fine!

Then again, I like the body color match on the car now. It's not difficult to put too much chrome on these cars but you have a lot of CF cars to view and judge that by.

I do agree that the trim rings wouldn't be needed with a chromed rallye. Thanks for sharing and keep us posted on what you decide to display.
