Default WW's

Folks, I know a lot of people don't like the WW's, but I like to keep the stock look of my vette. I added a little Nassau blue to the rims n tires

I did something similar to my car a little while back. I've been wanting to do this to break up the black powder coat I have on my WWs. Didn't turn out fantastic but I'm not complaining.





It'll suffice until I can pony up for some better wheels.

Also been trying to make under the hood look half decent.

IMO, the chrome wagon wheels look very good. Adding that touch of Nassau Blue to them turned out well.

Ask a thousand people the same question, get a thousand answers!!!

WW's probably are in the top 5 on that list. But, your car, your wheels, you're happy, I'm happy!!

BTW - I've never thought they looked as bad as some will carry on! Same with BSM's!

The chrome WWs are not bad. The one that were stock on my car I always related to being dressed up in a tux and wearing tennis shoe.

I did my wagon wheels in gloss black when I first got my ride. Didn't leave wheel funds in my budget after purchasing my car

I know I'm way in the minority on this, but I kind of like the looks of the original chrome wagons on my black '99 vert. I was thinking of changing them out a while back but have decided to keep them, at least for the time being. The stock look appeals to me. An advantage to wagons, if i'm not mistaken, is that they are lighter and stronger than most of the replacement wheels that are available. Y'all take care!

FYI, for what it is worth, this is where you can score the rim blades.
