Looks great. I disagree with the anti-factory wheel comments. You don't need any wheel jewelry on America's sports car IMO (unless of course you want the car to live up to the stereotype of what its driver wears ). Check out the many posts of heavier than stock aftermarkets (more unsprung weight is a no no) and crack prone thin spokes before you make a rash decision to change a perfectly fine and fitting wheel for the Corvette without the worries mentioned above.

Take Hwy 431 North to the honeycomb area. Look for Sunrise Marina on the left and Whitaker Lake Lodge on the right. Turn right onto Cottonville Rd. just past Whitaker Lake Lodge. Maybe about a 1/4 mile up Cottonville you will come to a very sharp righthand curve. The bridge is in the outside bend of that curve. There is now a home built on the property. The owner is Jim Meekins and he welcomes people to stop and see the Bridge.
