Anyone have any experience with these wheels, especially the LZ-VT series(the twisted spokes);I'm interested in the all chrome.Any problems?

I've seen them on a few cars - they look great. I know they are not cheap, but don't really know just how well they hold up over time.

Ken King had a set of the painted ones on his car. You might want to contact Matt at Vette Essentials and see if he can give you some feedback on how the wheels held up.

I was looking into them about a year ago, they are the nicest IMO that Ive seen. I talked with a fella who had them and he liked them, had no issues. I even talked with the company about them.
I never pulled the trigger though

Go for it!!!!!

you mean like these...
It's a nice wheel, and you don't see them on every Corvette. I didn't care for the all chrome version, had these custom powdercoated. They are not an extremely light wheel either, like most modular wheels are. Anyhow, I like mine.

Pretty sure it was me you spoke to (we actually wrote PM here, Lol...)

No issues at all...the center covers are plastic... but the wheels are nice chrome!! They were on the car when my wife bought her...



They have approx 15K miles on them... 6-7 years old.. No issues... they shine nicely!!
