Wow 47 pages and not one set of wheels tickle my nether regions quite like the silver OEM Speedlines do, too bad mine are hi polished.

The biggest problem for me is I hate chrome or polished wheels. The Sp500's painted look pretty ok, but F the price tag associated with them. I guess no BBK for me.

That's the funny thing, every car I've had, wheels and a drop was the first thing I've done. I usually hate OEM wheels, but how you can you beat the light strong speedlines? I hated the sp500's until I saw dudes painted black w a red stripe. I'll probably just have my speedlines painted/powdercoated semi gloss black.

I like the looks of those best too, well mainly the all black look, not necessarily the wagon wheels.

But I assume those are the true European light setup. Clear for reverse lights and amber for turn signals. Most of the Vettes with the euro lights do all clear or all amber.

If you guys want an easy format for wheel sizes do 17x9.5 MUCH easier to read.
