Is 427V8 right, $950! That's seems like a very good price for wheels that look that cool.

:cool: and we need a new one :jealous:!

Yep, that's what the wheels cost me ($750 more for the tires). Check the web site:

Now don't you all go out and get wheels like mine... It won't have quite the same impact at a show if everybody's running 'em!

Totally choice rims!! :smash: :smash:
I looked at those and the TT2's but mine still look good and I have too much invested in the Vette already to justify $1500.00 in new rolling stock every year. :cheers:

LOOKS GREAT!!!

How come you didn't opt for the KD tires?

Stingy74, two reasons: 1. It rains a lot down here in south Florida, and 2. The KDWs were on sale. A pretty good sale; they were $185 each vs. in the high $200s for the KDs. Hey, it gives me something to look forward to improving even more. :)
You know I never thought of that. I can attest to the KD's being pretty useless in the rain but they are the ultimate dry street tire. Enjoy your new wheel and tires!

They look sweet. Good price too. I'm having a difficult time deciding what would look good on my ol' yellow vette.

Unfortunately I'm going out of town this weekend. I'll get to it; I'll get to it!!!

Here's the digital mock-up I did to see if they would look good before buying 'em. The only thing I did a little wrong was underestimate how deep the dishes would be. Imagine another inch or two of depth in this image. Where's that drool icon?
