Tough choice Bill, but in a close call I'd say stick with what you have.

Definately keep the ones you have IMHO

Unless you are getting into the "ghetto" look then having any of the other options will definitely achieve the "look" :smash

Default The perfect wheel !

Mr. Bill, What the heck are you doing ? The wheels you already have are excellent. They set off the silver paint exquisitely. What I think is Mr. Bill's problem is too much time on his hands. The remedy is another woefully neglected late model Corvette to bring back to prime condition. Maybe a public auto auction or from a LEO's selling of impounds and or repos?

Yes & no ?

Are you going to run wide whitewalls too? That would make your vette really stand out from the crowd.

I would like to Thank everyone for there input, This thread was posted as a joke, I plan on keeping the wheels I have, If I was going to replace them I would most likely go with something like the CCW 505's.
Thanks again.
Mr.Bill

I was thinking it was ... and I was going to suggest the CCW505's with about a three inch lip on the rear, two or so on the front. But... I figured everyone would say it was way overdone by too many others... I really wouldn't care... I'd love to have them on mine!

Good choice! IMO
