They look great.

Looking forward to seeing them on your car.

Strange request, but if you can get a side pic of the car with the wheels on I'd appreciate it. I'd like to photoshop them on my red vert

looks great, my question is how exactly do you go about making a perfectly circular line as you have on the outer ring?

The Black Z06 that they are going on is about 50 miles from me at this time. They should be on the car next week.

The easiest way is to spin the wheel while applying the paint.

They're ok. Kinda of a fad right now. BTW, the paint line went a bit squirrely near the bottom.

I agree but I bet they will look great on the car. I just put on Black wagons on my white Vette. I have had a lot more compliments now then with the chrome wagons.

Post some pics with them on the car.
