New Ace wheels, finally
Well after some delay I finally have my new Ace slick wheels on.
Even though I had some problems I would recommend Discount tire as I feel they did work in good faith, and on my behalf to straighten out my issues.
I dealt with Sam at ext 51814
265/35/18 and 305/30/19 in Hankook V12
Comments good or bad are fine by me. I'll never understand why people get upset over negative comments regarding mods.
Better pics to follow.

I also should have added a public thanks to all of the people I have bothered with wheel questions as I have been considering wheels forever.
Especially blacksedan (Randy) and willfulone (Chip).
But there were many more, so thanks.

I have the ACE Slick Hyperblack finish on my 2004 vert and love the look, however noticed the difference in weight as well. However, a very good wheel that I have received many positive comments on.
Some people thought they were C6/Z06 wheels, however the center cap is different plus the ACE Slick wheel was in the market before the C6 Z06 wheel came out.
You should get many good miles out of these wheels!

I think the wheels look very good on your car and nice choice in tires. I've bought two sets of tires from Discount Tire and been very pleased both times.
