Opinion on wheels needed
Just got this great set of '04 thinspokes from forum member "crazycorvette" (thanks again!!).
I was originally going to paint them, but they are kinda growing on me the way they are.
What do you guys think?
Stock.........
'04's............
or painted? I found these on a Ebay car, but you get the idea.

Either way the car looks good, but to keep with the pace car theme, I'd probably paint them.

They DO look nice.. I think you might as well go all out and paint them considering the rare air vette you have anyhow. The pic of what it would look like looks pretty darn kewl

I initially bought them to paint, like the third pic. I just put them on the car to test the wheels and the TPMS's, now I don't want to take them off! The stock wagons do have better tires, so they will eventually go back on.

Seeing that it is a nice looking Pace car, I would keep the WW, If not paint the wheels yellow to stay with the theme of the car.

I own a 98 Pace Car - sorry to say this, but the silver thin spokes look like crap......
Just remember, you asked for opinions.
It's your car - do what you want - but I would hold on to the OEM yellow wagon wheels in case you sell the car.
