I know it's not red, but you can get the idea. Mine don't have the rivets in them.




Get what you want though or you won't be happy.
Very nice, I may go with those next- may not be long since I changed wheels 3 times in 6 months

Can I request a photochop of my car. I want to buy a set of black out lights for my 99 meg red corvette. But the thing is I want to keep the chrome accents parts over the black out tail lights. I'm not sure if it would look tacky or would it bring it out more. Please help.

Thanks

I voted Speedlines because they're lighter, but this picture is hard to argue with:

This is the best I can do on the tail lights without have a higher resolution pic. Too much red is blending in with the chrome accent parts.

Chrome Spyders, no question.

IMO the comp grey looks like a dirty chrome wheel that's covered with brake dust.

I'm a huge fan of the deep dish rims.

I really wanted the c6z spiders, until i saw a couple different option from CCW!

I'd go with the chrome spiders, or a 5th option...stock polished 04 Z06 wheels (~$1k new, and several hundred less when used). They're a nice blend of low weight and great looks.

Please enlighten me where I can buy these for $1k new. I didn't know that was possible. I also like the look of the black C6 Z06's with the red stripe one of the vendors is selling, but the weight of those and any of the cheap aftermarket ones is just turning me off. It is just hard to beat OEM for looks and quality.
