New wheels look much better and modern. Did you or the previous owner install the strips to the front fenders?

I have the chrome spoke wheels on mine and love them. In my opinion, this could be the best money you'll ever spend on your car.

Personally, I do not give a sh** what people think of how my rides look. If the car wheels meets your 'love', then what others think is just BS, IMHO.

I agree that the Y2K wheels look much better. Congrats on the change.

I know the controversy
…I was stirring the pot a bit
… I am not able to explain why the wagon stylistically do the trick for me better than the polish thin 5 spokes. My car have both, winter 5 thin spokes polished and summer wagon….
I kinda want to recolour the 5 thin spokes and wagon…. And in the same time…why should I care, my Corvette is a driver with 130kmiles and I don’t take it to show. Mechanical maintenance and health is more important than wow! from others.
I am in wow! each time I see the car, whichever rim is on. 😍🥰
I also dig these 2
Porsche 911 2005 ish
Sawblades 1996 I wish they would fit my C5…
