New C6-Z06 Wheels installed
I decided to go with the Factory Reproduction C6 Z06 wheels. I had them installed a week or so ago, no issues at all. I had OE Concept chrome thinspokes prior to the new wheels, the new wheels seem to be a little bit smoother ride, though I had no complaints with the OE Concept wheels. Here are some before and after shots and a few misc photos.

I bought them from a local Corvette shop, but only because they took my wheels in trade. They already had a buyer for them. They also handled everything and will be responsible for any quality issues. They bought from Factory Reproductions. Go to Factoryreproductions.com for the wheel prices.

Those are the thinspokes I am looking for!!!!!!
How did you like them? Any balancing or finish issues?
I know this is going to make me feel even worse but what did they give you for the trade? $$$$$$

I paid approx $300 difference including mounting and balancing. Couldn't go wrong. Watch the forum, there are alot of thinspokes for sale, and probably will be more as the C6 wheels and other wheels become more popular.
