Default new wheels
I just got my new wheels installed. They were bought from Keith at 1st Rate Corvette. He was very helpful and answer all my questions before and after purchase. Next is a DD from Dennis.
I'm selling the factory wheels if anyone is interested.

Very nice improvement if I must say so. I have always been a fan of chrome wheels.
Good job.
