Default So hard to sell these wheels...(pics)
I had this great plan of selling my iforged wheels and tires and buying a set of 18 inch z07 wheels and painting them black and with the spare money get a harness bar, harness, racing seat, new z06 brake pads, etc and doing some small road course events. But now that I cleaned them up this may be a problem. These wheels just make the car look so...amazing. I dont know if I could sell them. An extra 2k for parts would be nice....but i dunno if I can do it.



Quick MS Paint job of the Z07 wheels

I could not sell those either if they were on my car.

Find another way to scare up some extra scatch - how 'bout giving some blood . . .

Stick with what you have. Your I-Forged's are very good looking rims!!!

It basically comes down to:
Option 1: Keep Iforged wheels


Option 2: Sell Iforged, pick up z07 wheels and pocket $2k

this is a tough one.

i like black rims, but those iforged wheels looks reallllllllyyyy clean on your car.

I had a set of Chrome Ronals that I really liked and sold them to pocket $1,500 and ended up painting my wagon wheels black. I don't regret it but you might considering how nice the iforged wheels are!

but the black Z06's look good also, and if you are going to get more joy out of hooking up your car for road racing, sell the damn wheels.

good luck.

How about you keep the wheels you have and have them powdercoated black.

I'm not a big fan of black wheels. If you could get the '07 wheels in something other than black then maybe it'd be worth the swap. But, definately not if they are black.

I really like the I Forged wheels better myself and they look great in the pics. Are there any blems that don't show in the pics? If not be happy for what you've got. But then again I've gotten bored with perfectly good stuff in my past too. So I could relate to where you are. Good luck with your decision.
