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

I've got 'em and love 'em!!

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.
