Also, the C6 thin spokes (even the replicas you show) do not have polished barrels. That is the reason I like C5 thin spokes better.

Looks like a really good deal, even with the shipping costs.
The offsets are fine, the fronts are only 1/6th outboard, and the rears 3/8ths........they will look great.
I wouldn't hesitate.

Bill i sent them an email asking them if they were chromed even n the barrel area they said they were. I have the email. What makes u think they aren't, just curious. The web site explains their chrome process.

I looked back at my email and the answer was they are tripple plated but not sure if they are shinny chrome polished like you are indicating 8vette but at any rate they look good to me on mr bills vette and still at a decent price and from other comments no one has had an issue with them. Thanks for all the replys
