I just don't get it.....
That's the difference between owners and enthusiasts...

You can always do the wheels later. I love your ride and how you have been so creative in finding places to put chrome. In my opinion, it is the best looking vette I have ever seen !!!
Would you consider selling it? I would be willing to pay tax value http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...149-999-a.html plus cost of itemized mods and enhancements.

Agreed. I happen to love C4's and they really are what a Corvette was meant to be. I owned a 1990 for quite awhile and had both my C5 and C4 at the same time, and I really liked driving the C4. I don't understand why a lot of people put down the C4. I still think they are very attractive and fun cars.

Don't sweat it. It's just a forum meme.
