I like them but realize that the lip is clearcoated aluminum so they will probably start to peel within a few year.........you do get what you pay for, but for now they are awesome!

I need to get the damned calipers painted! The auto shop that I use stopped me after the first one. LOL I have new rotors to put on anyway.

Sweet looking bro, I think i'll go ahead and pull the trigger on a set for my coupe. The only problem now is that I was looking at them on the forum last night under the custom wheels with the girlfriend. She actually said she liked them better on the pewter z06, so i casually said well let trade up to a z06. Lo and behold, she said OK and to start looking for one . Can't ask for more than that.

I was going to do the same sizes but the found selection of tires more limited in the 20" sizes. If you know what you want and can find them go for it. I think it would look better but the ride may be a little more harsh

Just found out mine shipped on Friday

Just got mine, but have not mounted them.

It is cloudy and raining outside so the lights are from my garage





I have a small issue with 2 of the wheels and waiting for a response.

See where the paint goes past the edge here, its hard to see unless you are a couple of inches away like I am in macro mode, but I do know its there.



It does not do that on the other 2, its a nice crisp line



I have emailed pics to the vendor to see, If i can get some money back and clean the paint off myself I may do it. Not sure what I could do though. It does not appear that the lip is clearcoated, would I just get some fine grit paper to clean it up?

This sucks because Discount Tire called and said my tires are in
