Looks super, really sets the Vette apart from others. Why are you going to change the wheels, those look good to me.

With everyone talking about winter mods they do, I figured I will post mine. We don't have winters in Florida, so we drive our Vettes year round. Thanks to Josh from RPI for the high quality parts. No I just have to watch those speed bumps.... Let me know what you think, good or bad! (I will be changing the wheels next)....

2 Reasons....
1. Because they are not wide enough in back. The offset make them fit the wide booty (somewhat).
2. They are 20/20, and I want to go to 20/19 or 18/19.
I asked for advice on them as I was wavering between waiting for the Anniversary Repro Cup Wheels with the red lip, doing gray spyders, or splurging on something like HRE's or 360's.

In regards to the wheels, I honestly do get compliments on them all the time. The look is not really the issue. See my post above for my reasons. It is not a pressing issue for now, but I recently got a screw in my sidewall and I have to change the tires anyway, so I would like to get a more appropriate sized wheel at the same time. I am just not a big fan of spending big bucks on wheels!!
Thanks for pointing me to Josh, by the way. He definately delivered the goods!!
