Default What do you think?

Hello all, I am currently trying to decide what to do to my wheels on my car. I would like to stay with the OEM's. What do you guys think. Thanks :cheers:

I went with the Chrome OEM Wheels, but that's just my opinion. :cheers:

Chromies!

Maybe polish the facto's, but I am not sure if that will look as good as the chromies.

My car got a lot of attention BEFORE the chromies, and now it gets even MORE - and for good reason!

best regards-

I much prefer the understated look of the stock wheels. :)

Stay with stock until you are 100% sure what you would rather do with them. I am sure if you really want to change them it will hit you with what you want. No sense in throwing away money until you really know what you want. Good luck.

Stay stock. Attend plenty of Corvette events beginning in the spring (C5 Birthday Bash, Corvette Forum Cruise-In, 50th Anniversary Celebration at the NCM). Check out the other Torch Red Z06's like yours. If you haven't decided by then, check out the Z06 Fest (also at the NCM in September 2003) and for sure by then you'll know what to do with your wheels, and perhaps even the entire car.
