LOL -

Thanks Jim, T, LB, Gray, HUMY, et all - appreciate the feedback.


definately delighted with the corsa's, the thin's are ....gonna have to
grow on me or ill sell the WWChromies,
And trade up Out of the painted thin spokes and go for

in order of soon vs later
Z06 painted (they DO look nice against dark purple) , or
y2k chromies - or
C6 sized Chromie with GenII runflats (the rage in setups i hear since their refined runflats, and larger) or
and if the lotto comes my way,
Imola Design 22's (but thats just bringing up a soar subject lol)

Question:
is it worth trying to powercoat these to be a dark 'anthracite' grey such as the z06 rims?

New wheels look great. Now, that is one of my all time favorite early C5 colors. Awesome!
