They don't look right on a Vette. I have no idea what they weigh but they look "heavy".

I think they look great! Now, that said, I think some owners have poor taste in their color choices, but the wheels themselves are very nice looking!

Ronal Makes a high quality wheel, but they are pretty heavy, much more than the OEM. Wheel weight makes a lot of difference on how your car rides and performs. I go for weight / strength first , then appearance. Just my 02 cents

It's sorta that way with alot of wheels... either you like them or you don't!!

They are NOT cheap wheels in price or quality.
