True of a lot of "domestic" owners. It seems as if all the new and upcoming stuff ends up in the import market. Those guys aren't afraid to experiment with new setups, and they're always on the cutting edge of what's new. (And when I say import market, I'm primarily talking about NSX's, S2000's, RX-8's, Supras, 350Z's, etc. not rice).

I've said it before and I'll say it again: there's nothing wrong with a red/white/black Vette with chrome wheels, but it's played out. You're 1 of thousands.

Kudos to the OP for thinking outside the box!

Yes, the gold daytons and whitewalls were meant to be a sick joke.

It may look good depending on the actual wheel. I have to see it on a the C6 to say if I like it or not. So far the only picture posted looks good.

I was at a tire shop this week when I saw a matte-gold ICW Racing wheel on display and thought how cool that would look on my DSOM coupe. Can't get to Photobucket right now, but here's the link to it.
