Re: Need help chosing wheels.. please vote.. (IMXCITD)
Well - there is nothing to wait for - as I will not spend that much money for wheels again. :D
I would stay stock - but I can get a set of these for 500.00 out of pocket after selling my OEMs. Which is why I am going this route - so I asked for some opinions on these..
Thanks,
BP

Re: Need help chosing wheels.. please vote.. (COOL COUPE)
Well - you guessed correct - I am going against the grain and am going Black! They shoud be here within another week - Right Nate???? (in case he sees this post)
Its funny cause I posted a poll on the Corvette Forum, Z06 Forum and the LS1 Forum - and the poll results were different for each...
CorvetteForum.com peps liked #3 (chrome) by far
Z06Corvetteforum.com peps like #1 and #3 50%Chrome/50%Black
LS1.com peps like #1 by far (Black)
So it is really a toss up and again my descision is black..

Also - I wanted to thank everyone that took the time to express your opinion as it was a very difficult descision to make as it was with my HREs as well..

Re: Need help chosing wheels.. please vote.. (bparker)
I think you made the right choice!
In chrome, I prefer the standard Z06 style, but the 3-pc style with the machined rim, plated screw heads, and black center looks GREAT! :thumbs: ......... (especially with a Black car!) :cool:
Don't forget to post some pics when you get them mounted!! :yesnod: :D

I personally prefer the CCW's. In fact, I sold the pair I bought from you and purchased a complete set from CCW with the black centers :reddevil

Where did you get those rims from (pic #1)? And how much did it set you back?

Re: Need help chosing wheels.. please vote.. (MMI)
Yep - and they are just a tad cheaper than the HREs - and these are 500.00 more than stock..
But the Zewyer Wolf wheels look great! :D

Number 2's are just like they sound, number 2. :U
Number 3's are like everyone elses including the ones I just bought.
Number 1's just look like they mean business!
I thought about going with something like the number ones but had never seen a good closeup of them on a car. I think they would look sweet on my pewter '99 but too late I just got the wheels this last week. :party:
