Wheels

What wheels are you running and do you have any pics? I am looking at refinnishing my stock '90 wheels or replacing them but I can't find anything I like. I was looking at tire rack at the Sport Edition V5Z or V6but I don't know.

Did you see the Dale Earnhart wheels that they released. They have one that is called "killer" and it is a NICE looking wheel. I almost bought a set but they dont come in 11"

That looks nice, and the wheels on the vett are cool too. Are they C5 OEM or after market.

I love my 90 wheels so much, I put in about 24 hours into making them polished.

I had my sawblades refinished. I think they came out pretty good.

Where did you get them? I'm reasonably nearby outside Chicago. I've always liked those.

Agent 86 Damn those look good. How? and What? did you use too get that kind of finish out of them. Did you have to sand them smooth first?

My pick is the AR TT 2...i just think they look old school, with a more modern design, when i save a $1000.00 i'm buying a set.

They are just what my vette needs

Thanks for the pics.
