I voted for you to keep the stockers, but if you are going to change the wheels, I wouldn't go with those

Those are not bad if they do have black for the spokes that would be killer

While I think Chip is a cool guy, those wheels are hideous.

+1 for the stockers.

The Foose DF5s look pretty good - at least in the pic.

Sorry - not a fan of either one. I agree it would be cool to have the Foose signature and Foose wheels, but I personally prefer simpler cleaner styles, the Foose stuff is a little over the top for me.

Of course you should get the one that you like - after all, it is your money and your car.

There's just something about the thin-spoke that says "C5 Corvette" !

It's a clean, classic look that will never go out of style!

These wouldnt be so bad if you could get a set of deep dish for the rear. I personally think deep dish belong n the rear of all Vettes!!!
