Hey Gannet, are those your wheels in your avatar?



If so, where did you get them? I saw these on some sort of 2008 special edition Z06 at my local dealer and I really liked them.

All i see is GM getting desperate with the wheel options to sell car.

FUGLY!!!!

But if you want to see a really good looking chrome wheel on a JSB, ask for pictures of the standard split spoke wheels that have been chromed. Someone on this forum with a JSB posted pictures of his chromed standard split spoke wheels and they REALLY looked good IMHO.

That is what that wheel is.

From the LE 427 Z06

That is a pic of an '08 427 Limited Edition Z06. The same wheels, in different finishes, will be the standard wheels on the '09 Z06. I have an '09 Z06 on order with those wheels, so that pic, which Talon90 graciously let me mooch, is the closest I can come to an avatar of my car until I pick it up. They are not available from the aftermarket as yet so far as I know, although I'd predict they will be soon.

I like them but if I was buying an aftermarket rim, I would want it to look less stock.
