Hi,

Your pic is not showing up.

I'd like to see them. I bet they look really sharp!

I'm in the process of buying K58 18" wheels and K59 19" wheels for my Coupe with special metallic-looking painted centers like the Tiger Shark concept car.

:cheers:

p.s. If anyone here wants a set of Kinesis wheels, talk to Nate at Xtreme. They're a Kinesis authorized dealer and can help you out with a set.

I still can't see the pic in your post, but when I open the link outside of Corvetteforum, I can see it. Must be something about restrictions that tripod has or something.

Very sweet looking wheels! Do you have the new Spectre Werkes C5R headlights or what kind are those?

Hi. I went ahead and hosted a copy of your pic on my site so that everyone can see it here. (I also resized it a little smaller.)

The wheels look really nice!
:cheers:

Yes, painting the center of most wheels to match the car is a smooth move, IMHO. It's clear I'm not the only one here with taste. :lol: Kudos! :yesnod:
