Default Ace Slick Wheels

Who's got em and do you like em? I have seen them offered by Corvette Garage and WCC. They look similar to the C6 Z06 wheel. I am considering them in chrome...18" front and 19" rear. Appreciate the feedback (in advance

Thanks

Kieth at L.A.P.D. I think has them but he had them custom painted/black chromed.



It looks a bit darker then it really appears in person. The sun really catches in the black and helps to lighten the black a bit. I think they look great in person though.

I loved mine as well...I ran 275/35R18s and 305/30R19 Bridgestone Potenza's on mine, and was happy with the tires as well

I liked them so much that I put a set on my C6 after I bought it

Have them on a red 2001 coupe. 18" / 265/35-18 Vredestein on the front and 19" / 295/30-19 Vredestein on the rear.

Would have put a 275/35-18 on front if Vredestein had made a Wider / taller tire. I received the best price on wheels at LA Performance and tires at TomzWheels.

Good Luck
