No ads for wheels unless pix are included showing wheels mounted on Vettes.

It's impossible for us to mount every wheel on a Vette just to take pics.

Sometimes you have to use your imagination or hope someone has the same wheel that can show you pics

Was this an attempt to be humorous or did you have a bad experience?

Yeah just humor venting a little, just hard pulling the trigger when I'm about to commit on spending my hard earned cash on big ticket items. I'm not as imaginative as most. Whatever help I can get visualizing I'm thankful for.

Well I can agree on the point about posting pics of the wheel itself. Having the wheel mounted is somewhat sketchy, as some vendors have dozens of styles and it's not really worth it to mount every single one. But yes, pics of the wheel should be noted.

another problem is there are so many different wheels and so many different colors of cars and then throw in a Coupe Z06 or a vert and that makes it even worse.

thats what makes photoshop your friend

its not the best true pic of what your car would look like but its better than nothing.

There is some people on here who enjoy doing this for you if you post up a request with a like car/wheel and your car pic as well.


Good Luck and I do know what it feels like. I am wanting new wheels to but just cant decide on what i want
