Your'e and Idiot... with an opinion... It's all good, we all have em.. Have you ever heard that there is NO emotion in a text, e-mail, maybe a post on a public forum.. When i said "this is how they re supposed to look" i was referring to "The Chrome Wheels" jackass,,, not the Z06!

Z06RL is being Sarcastic... TO YOU for your "opinion"..

I am not even going to respond to your 430hp car... as mine is no longer stock.. I live right up the road from LGM, they have built all of my cars and i have since added the G5XXX, LG LT's, Halltech,etc..

Now everyone knows that you have the nicest,fastest, Z06 on this forum, guy's like me with the 19/20 Chrome Combo are "Ghetto" and slow... You win..

My apologies to the OP... I'll not post here again in an effort to keep the thread on topic.. I think it is clear from ALL that have replied -1, you get a good idea of what wheels will work FOR YOU and your Z06.. GL my friend.

Ooh, name calling. Nice start! And as far as what you were referring to, its pretty obvious genius! The thread title is after all called "C5 Z06 Chrome Wheels." Have no idea where you were trying to go with that one. Ooh, look! more name calling! You are how old? Whether you were referring to your car as a whole (with those wheels - again, check the title of the thread) or just the wheels alone, the fact is you came in and posted that comment after myself and another 2 members posted pics with the stock sized wheels and your comment clearly displays that you don't like how the stock OEM sizes look...or how our cars look....at the very least your comment indicates that you think your car looks much better. Its not like you simply came in and posted here's how they look in 19/20 sizes. Imagine for example a thread someone started that said show me your freshly zaino'd black Z06. Some members post a few pics...than you come in and post a pic "This is how a freshly Zaino'd Z06 is supposed to look" A light going off yet? Point is, if you want to come in and brag about how you think your setup is better, well then be prepared for a rebuttal.

Thank you for enlightening me, I had no idea My response to him simply reflected the fact that I didn't feel his car looked ghetto.

Wait a second...didn't you just say you weren't even going to respond...

I am well aware of the fact that I have no where near the fastest or nicest Z06 on the forum and I think you are forgetting that YOU are the one who broke out the classic e-muscles "if you weren't so far away I'd kick your a$$ comment, not me. What was it you said...I think it went along the lines of "I would wear your *** out @ the track, or on the oval."...that sound familiar??

Just not as classy or fast. And yes, I know.

Would you be interesting in selling your stock rims, center caps and lugnuts? I would trade you but you said you want bigger than stock rims otherwise I would trade you this brand new set with 800 miles on them.

Did he indicate that in another thread? Because unless I am missing something, he never said that here.

Beautiful Z by the way

I think he said he wanted 19's and 20's back a few posts.

Thanks for the compliment, I just picked the car up two weeks ago with 1411 miles on it and the previous owner put the chromes on and sold the originals to some racer. I really want the car all stock so that's why I through the offer out there.

Congrats on the new car. Looks really clean and shiny. You might want to PM the OP with an offer.

Nice pics covert, you get some nice angles. Are those borla stinger tips peaking out the back?

Go back to the begining... read my initial post with an open mind... can you do that?

Now, scroll down to your post calling my car ghetto, and comparing it to a F#$^ Cutlass with those N_GGER *** wheels...

My Z06 is as clean as they come, Like you i am sure, i take Pride in that car as well as my other 3... Your response was a typical East coast, NEW YORK Jackass.. plain and simple...

I never said i would kick YOUR ***... ( although i would like to).. i said i would wear your *** out @ the track... there is a difference...

There.. i feel better...
Your turn...
Honestly my friend, I could easily dissect the blatant ignorance in every single one of your comments, but I'd just as soon start picking on the local pre-schoolers. Perhaps my language is too advanced for you so I will try break it down to your level: I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and sh*t out a better PM than what you've presented here. Have a nice day

be ready for the extra weight. I just picked mine up from Mike at Corvettes of Houston today. The car feels much heavier, SOTP acceleration feels down. But, I knew this ahead of time, and that's why I am keeping the stock wheels for the track.

You were that little tattle tale in grade school weren't you? Kind of the teachers pet, bringing her apples and such. I sent you a PM in an effort not to clutter up this guy's thread. You mentioned "picking on pre-school kids" .. My guess is YOU were that kid. It's gonna be ok buddy... Let's move on...

To the OP, and the Mod's... Once again, my apologies for going on in this thread with this young lady. I made an attempt to take it to a PM but obviously this person has some kind of inferiority complex. Since he cannot move on, I assure you, i will...

The OP already indicated he got what he wanted and possibly isn't even reading this thread anymore. If you really wanted to move on you wouldn't have even sent me the PM riddled with more of your crap. Hopefully you'll stick to your word and move on for good so there will be no more of your nonsense, and childish insults.

No Im referring to my Z06. Im speaking from experiance because it has chrome rims . There`s certainly BS being shoveled but its not by me. Good luck with that.

Why he thought you meant only his car makes no sense. But that's on par with much of what he says. His reading comprehension is off the charts on the negative side.
