Those wheels make a huge difference on your car. Love 'em!!!
I have a black coupe also with the wagon wheels. Hope to change them as soon as money allows. Need to find someone who knows what they are doing when it comes time to mount them correctly. I am waivering between the Z06 chromies or some kind of a split chrome style wheel. Can't decide. Money may be the deciding factor. Got to have chromes though.

I got mine through Bob's House of Wheels and they also recommended someone (Butler Tire) in my area to do the install. When I watched them carefully install the "hockey pucks" to pick up the car, wrap my old wagon wheels in plastic and clean the tires and wheels after installation, I was glad I asked Bobs for a recommendation!

Wow, cool. I think it would be a stretch for Bob to know anything about someone in my area.

Don't know. I'm about 700 miles from Bob and they knew where to tell me to go.

Wouldn't hurt to ask!
