Sorry, I meant 6 months longer than my own meager time on this forum. I didn't see the first post, I'm not real good at sharp banter and apparantly mistook your intentions and for that I apologize as well. Hope you are well and we can start over. Best wishes to you, Sincerely, Mike P.

Op, if the size of the wheel combo is what you like, (large rims on a lowered car) you may want to search some of the wheel threads here and see if you can find a car of member who has a similar look you like then they can tell you the set up, in some cases it may be posted in the thread. As far as the actual rims go in these pics, it is hard to see enough detail to identify. There are lots of chrome wheels that have that look.


As far as opinions on wheels go, don't worry about it, you could never get a consensus on this forum for such a (believe it or not) controversial topic. I too have an opinion on wheels but it has more to do with how they are made as these are sports cars and should have proper, polishedforged wheels not cheap chrome wheels IMO , I suspect those in the pic may be the latter.

Hope this helps

Wheel choice evoke some playful banter, but if you read between the lines.. some people do express their opinion, in a hazing sort of way. The thing here is, people can be very opinionated about their C5, or C5's in general... no different than any other generation Corvette passion. Some people feel entitled to offer their opinion, whether is was requested or not... If someone likes something, they can say so, they can also offer an honest opinion, in the form of a hazing event.... The worst thing that I see here is that many people will sugar coat their opinion tell the person what they want to hear, then laugh at them for their choice behind closed doors. I'm all for the honesty aspect, If I like them, I will say so, If I don't, I will also say so. At least my opinions are honest and from the heart. Honesty, be it positive or negative only validates my opinion...When I like something, you can take that to the bank as being and honest opinion, not some sugar coating that disguises my true feelings.

Over my time here, I've seen both types of people ( newbies ) ones that just want to be stroked and told what they want to hear.. then there or the others who appreciate the honesty.. and are willing to thank those of us who are honest, and willing to say ( What was I thinking " )... IM so happy I didn't waste my money on a poor choice.

Sugar coaters enable a newbie here to make bad choices in the name of saying something nice, even if they feel it isn't .

Thanks for your responses, mostly positive, there are some negative, but some of them can get something positive, as I believe in a color so bright might not very good looking, maybe is better in other slightly duller, and yes I think the wheel is this; WORK LS305, The others from stock SRT8 Charger, also looks good...to me
