Default New Wheels???

What's up everyone????

Well I'm thinking of getting my new wheels soon. What do you guys think? Any hints on what to look for? I'm not looking for any rinky dinky wheels. You know you pay for what you get. More than likely I'll be looking at some 3 piece wheels with a nice sick lip in the back. Well let me know what you guys think.

360 degree wheels would be my choice but they are a little pricey.

Wheels are like shoes, a style for everyone. Personal choice with so many options out there right now. Cost is an limitation for most of us. One good thing about the forum, you can see just about any wheel here that has been put on a Corvette. Happy Hunting!

Everyone has different preferences but I don't think you can beat CCW wheels. They make a quality (made in the USA) wheel at a reasonable price. They give great service before, during and after the sale.

If you think 360 wheels are ugly, I have a feeling the majority of us won't like your style

Not true, the deep dish colored wheel look is very faddish, not everyone likes it.

I've always been a fan of simpler styles from Fikse and Kinesis.

I especially like the K29's in liquid carbon finish. Very nice.

I'll pull the trigger as I'm not a fan of the stock wheels, let alone in bling bling chrome. I want more power first though, I have my priorities straight. :P
