Default Davin Speed SP1 Wheels

Hi All,

I just got my 05 C6 Coupe in Precision Red. I am thinking of Davin Speed SP1 wheels in black/red/polish. Do you think they would look good?



Also, I will be adding a Alpine CD/mp3 changer to the Nav system. Is there any other way of installing it besides using a FM modulator?

Thanks,
Patrick

Standing still...maybe, but I don't think they will look good in motion

Looks good. Kind of different with the red but nice. Do they make them in a solid polished or chrome?

Yes, They make them in chrome too. I first saw them in the March issue of Corvette Magazine.

Default Heck yeah!!

I have seen these Davin's at the SEMA show in Vegas.

This will be hot with your Precision red!!

I want a set with a Yellow carbon fiber spoke!!

This will set you apart from all of the "pedestrian" wheels out there!

I suppose on certain cars it might look Okay, for me I just can't get on board with the dark wheels, polished or chrome for me!

Hey ALFONSE, I also have a CD changer that I'm planning on transfering into my vette when I get it. I think I will have to use the FM modulator unless I get an aftermarket head unit. I'm kind of bummed about that because I don't the control unit to be mounted anywhere on the dash. I was thinking that it might be possible to place it in the center console compartment and everything could be completely hidden, but since I don't have the car yet I don't know if it would fit. If you find a solution be sure to post it. I'm very interested in figuring this out.

I think those wheels are awesome...and would look awesome in motion as well.

Aren't they about $8k a set though?

Davins are higher than HREs I believe!
