Default Some nice bling
Check out this vette with serious bling. (It's NOT mine)

What do yall think? I must say I like it. I found this vette in a gallery on a wheel web site. These rims must have cost some serious bucks.

Same here. I don't think they belong on a Vette. I wouldn't mind having those on a Chrysler 300 though.

I don't really see what's wrong with them, other than being very flashy.

Those wheels belong on a bling wagon, not a beautiful high performance Z06... way to busy, way to much chrome..way to much surface area.... All you can see is the wheels. They distract from the overall "LOOK" of the car.
Opinions where asked !

They look a little heavy like they belong on a truck or at least a sedan like the Chrysler 300...
