I ordered new chrome wheels and tires through West Coast Corvettes last week. The wheels are the same as the CCW 505's, but they're chrome. I should have them by the end of the month.

Default More Z06 chromies!

They may not be the most expensive, but they're the most popular!

Hi Rgd2424 -

No problem!

The place was at the Baymont in Bowling Green during the Cruise In IV - if you look closely you can see Roscoe's smoker in the picture...
