wheel debate
I have a Yellow LT4 with Fikse wheels and I am debating trying a different set of wheels.
Anyone have any suggestions. Here is what I was thinking:
1. Leave it as it is and concentrate on going fast :D
2. Fikse FM/5 in black with polished lip (in 17's)
3. Iforged wheels in 18" (http://www.iforged.com/mainl.html) - the aero style in 18's
Here's how the car looks now:
Opinions? Suggestions? Guidance?

Beautiful Coupe!
If you have to add to your wheel and tire collection ... a set of black with silver lip is a great addition to any C4 look.
Awesome looking Corvette my friend!

Re: wheel debate (madskilz)
I'll trade you wheels. :D
Your 'vette looks awesome just how it is. I wouldn't get black FM/5s, I just can't imagine that looking as good as chrome or polished with clearcoat. JMHO. I love that combo right now though, looks great. :cheers: :cool:

If your selling at a reasonable price let me know. :D
The black rims might look really sweet though too, maybe someone with photoshop can give you a preview of what it will look like :cheers:

DO NOT change wheels.
That car looks awesome!
If you wanna change the look, lower it. Otherwise, dont waste your money on something that is not an improvement over what you already have :thumbs:
