Rims

Hi all. Anyone here ever see these rims in person? I want to buy these form this company. I have a 1997 c5 corvete triple black stock. I love the way these look and the price seems decent. IS this a good rim?

IS this a reputable company? thanks for your help.

I bought my exhaust system from them last year, and the transaction was seamless. If you don't mind me asking, what were some of the other wheels you were considering?

Check out my Wheel Album on Webshots. It will give you an idea of what various aftermarket wheels look like on the C5.

You could also do a search. There is a wheel thread on C5 General with hundreds of posts and photos.

Those would be my choice for your car as well. Good price and I have had no problem with purchases from Weast Coast Corvette

Oh and BTW - if your car is a '97 it can't be triple black, the convertible wasn't introduced until '98.

Good luck!
