Were the 84-87 corvette wheels on that list? Those are about the only stock corvette wheels that I can think of that look worse than the wagons.

This has to be a joke. There can't possibly be a person that is refusing to allow comments on a forum from others on the stock 97-99 wheels?

What do you want a cookie for having no talent and doing absolutely nothing to your car like 99% of them remain out there?

I feel like kicking you square in the *****.


I normally have respect where it is due, but you are acting like a nut case. Thank you very much for the laugh, I will sleep well tonight.

My 04 came with Z06 wheels when I bought it and I love them. I never cared for the ww but I respect your right to your own preferences just like everyone else.

Nothing wrong with wagon wheels and if that's the style you like, then . I swapped out the original WW on my '99 for a set of chrome ones and they did look good. And nothing wrong with sticking with originality. Nice looking C5 you have.

And man, don't take everything so personal - not everyone is going to like what you do or don't do to your car. Just the way things are. You'll find that there are a lot of people here that give you their opinion whether you ask for it or not.

Wagon wheels.... Jeez, don't even get me started on body side moldings

A red, non Z, with BSM and wagon wheels... Yes, it's very clear, we all have different tastes.
