Sorry for your pain...


However, us women *know* not to make a commitment by 'pulling off the tags', (insert :::selling original wheels:: until we have tried on the 'outfit' at least six times and asked the opinion of our 2 best friends....


If you don't believe me...take your woman shopping with you next time...



Anyway.....I really hopes it works out for you.

I am SURE you could sell them in a heart beat in the FS section.
So, I understand how you feel, just enjoy your car while you have them on it and now you know your next mod.

I'll bet they would look killer if you painted them to match your car. Plus you'd have a real unique look

LOL, well maybe mine will look better with a good pic. Well, I will wait and see, I have a new set getting made anyhow. Not the type to paint the rims the same as the car.

Brian, exactly which wheels are those, and from what vendor, and how much? In fact, I liked the wheels so well on your car, I've got the pictures saved to my hard drive cause that's what I'm looking for on my car. At Tomzwheels, I noticed there were a couple differant versions of that wheel. Which version is the one's you have on your car? If you don't mind me asking.

the wheels are black Z06 motorsports from Tomzwheels. they are 18's all around 18x9.5 front, and 18x10.5 rear. they are made by factory reproductions. the only other versions i know about is the OE concepts which only comes in 17/18 sizes, and also a true 3 piece wheel which costs $$$$$$

def. buy from tomzwheels when you are ready. seriously the best vendor i have delt with. price is $649 + shipping, which includes center caps, and locking lug nuts!!!

good luck with whatever you decide!

Brian, thanks for the info! I was able to use Office Pro picture management to zoom in on the pictures of your car with the black 06 wheels, and even close, they still look great! Why the disapointment?
