I disagree.... I have CCW's.... not 505a's. I've seen ONE other vette in my area with the same wheels. I've never seen 505a's in San Diego on any vette. You may see them on the forum, but on the road in YOUR town, how many sets of 505a's have YOU seen??????

Thats a better way to look at it I guess...on the boards it seems like EVERYONE has CCW 505A's, which a lot do, but in my town...not a lot.

Of the quarter million c5's produced, active membership here from C5 owners is right around 1100.
85% of these quarter million C5's are stock.
The CCW may be popular here... but the Z06 repo chromies are the most common wheel mod on the forum.

Well heck, if you don't want to be "one of the crowd", see if you can get hold of a set of those yellow wagon wheels off a 98 Pace Car.

Sure. They're CHEAP!

We get them because painted wagon wheels look like crap but we all drool over your 505's!

I'm saving up for a set. When I get the money I'm going to show my wife that thread that was posted a while back about repo Z06's cracking and tell her I have to spend the money to be safe!

Sure...that'll work!

Just tell here you want to new wheels for your car.. and then ask her if its ok to get "safe wheels..."
then when she sees the bill for the CCw's, you just tell her it was her idea to get the safe wheels..

There's a hell of a deal on chrome 505s with Pirellis and pressure sensors in the Parts Section. About 2000 miles on the set. If I didn't already have mine, I'd make an offer. Best,

Can't STAND those damn black wheels on Vettes

Out of the choices, DEF the CCWs

My personal favorites, tho, are the iForged Evolutions

Well, I just entered my vote and after checking the poll result, we'd like to help you spend big bucks for your new wheels. If you decide not to keep the chrome Z06 wheels ( I'm assuming the yellow car is the one we're talking about), let's talk about the chrome Z06 that's on her now.
