New wheels arrived
Here's a not so good pic of the wheels after Panther worked their magic on them.
Here's a close up pic to help you see the texture of the wheel after the machining process when you are up very close.
Other pics to follow after the tire install and mounting.

This is exaclty what I was looking to do. I have wagon wheels today. Where did you start? Do you have a z06 or did you buy used wheels?

I like em. I have the tripple chrome, but if they get wet, you have an hour of polishing ahead of you. Are these easier to keep clean??

Nice feet to go along with those wheels.....do you get pedicures?
i was going to have the exact same thing done to my Z06 wheels, but I opted for the Motorsports instead. Panther's reputation is excellent.
How did you stand not being able to drive your car for a couple of weeks????
