Default Wheel question...

I'm thinking about buying a set of these for my vette:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...AQ:MOTORS:1123

But am unsure how they will look on a Monterey Red coupe... and how they line up with the fender. Has anybody bought these? Any pics of them on your car?

I just bought a set a few weeks ago. Got them installed on my JSB and I like them. They may stick out a little bit but not bad. I just installed a set of the GM C6 splash guards and it looks awesome.

BTW, that vendor has the same wheels listed several times on Ebay with different prices.

I bought mine for 522 plus 85 for shipping..... might save you a few bucks.

I would be leary of buying wheels off ebay like that. They are likely Cheap Chinese made cast aluminum wheels. There are quite alot of balancing and weakness issues with wheels like that. Take a look at some of the well know respected Wheel Companys. I bought mine from CCW. They are an American made high quality forged wheel. I got mine in 19X11 and 18X9.5. They mount Z06 size tires and have the proper offset to fit perfectly with stock bodywork. And for not a whole lot more cash than the ones you're looking at. Just a suggestion. www.ccwheel.com
