With all due respect , it is difficult to read your comments when you don't own a corvette. You have no dog in the fight as they say. You make some good points, but have no vette ! You make comments and have no vette ! Don't you see how that looks ? It's one thing to join the forum and read because you like corvettes, but over 800 posts ? And your right, some people are annoyed by it and have something to say and purposely view your threads with " not again " ! And here I thought you finally got one! But no, just wheels. I'm sure you're a nice fellow, but till you have what this forum is about, that's the way I view you. Good luck with what ever you do and I hope you get the car of your dreams, because they are really nice. I don't want to go back and forth, just the way I feel.
Boohoo....nasty Yellow95.....

At least you're not nasty about it like some are (ET, Yello95), and I can see why a guy with no Vette posting all the time would be annoying to some, but believe me, I'm not trying to be annoying, just trying to find out as much about this car as I can before I buy one. To those I annoy, I apologize, and I'll try not to be as annoying, but I won't stop posting...

Your car is absolutely gorgeous! What year is it? That's exactly the look I'm going for (and the exact model and color I want too). To be totally honest, I didn't think they made chrome versions of these wheels...in all of my searching for them all I ever saw was the silver powder coat and the polished...I never saw chrome ones, but I'm guessing the chrome ones would probably cost me at least $1200 a set, which is roughly what I'll have in these once I get them chromed...also, what size tires are you running, and is your car lowered? It looks like these tires/wheels fill the wheel wells a bit better than the stock sizes do....

That's how I feel too, but I think people like Yello95 just like stirring up ****...that's why they can't leave it alone...

Because after you think more about it you will realize that it's foolish to spend money on rims for a car you don't have. Saving the money will only expedite the date when you have saved enough to purchase the Corvette! Rims and other mods will be better dealt with after when you can ensure you're buying something that is a good fit for "your" car. Don't put the cart before the horse!

I don't look at it that way. I think I got an extremely good deal on these rims and I'm taking advantage of it...it'll be one less thing I'll have to buy after I own the car...
