keep up the good work!
Yes, they are factory wheels. At first I wasn't crazy about the new design but I have to admit, they have grown on me and now I really like them.

Hey Randy, washed mine yesterday for the Mystic Show, too. Apparently, washing one's corvette is even more effective than a rain dance as it has started to rain the last two times that I was drying the car after a wash. Look forward to seeing you guys (and, the C7) at Mystic tomorrow. See you there.

PS re washing: I recently put some new wheels on mine thinking that they would be way easier to keep clean than the chrome 5,000,000 spoke factory wheels. Yesterday was the first wash with the new wheels. Conclusion: There is no such thing as an easy to clean wheel.

Car looks great. Got to call regarding the "neglected" comment. With all you went through with that car and how it looks now, I highly doubt it's ever been or ever will be "neglected."
