Default What would you do?

Ok, for those that dont know, I drive a 2000 MY coupe. As it sits right now its SLAMMED, !BSM, window tint (NOT dark enough, will be redone), and chrome Z06's all around. I see soo many vettes around town (even MY ones) on chrome Z06 wheels, or even just stock wheels, but anyways, Im just kinda tired of looking like everyone else. I want my car to stand out. People tell me all the time, that as it is now it does, and that I dont need to switch, but Im kind of thinking I want to switch to some black Z06's with a polished lip? What do you guys think?

*** NOTE *** Please post pics to help persuade me

On a MY car, I think the black Z06 wheels as you describe would look very nice. There are lots of other wheels to choose from too - just depends on how high you want to go in price. I really like the Ronals and the CCW's.

If you're looking for something to set you apart...




Too much attention for me personally, but I'd be staring hard with both thumbs up if I ever ran across one on the road myself.

I too think that black Z06's with a polished lip would look good on the MY.
