Z51 vs F55. But we all know the F55 suspension is way better. There, that should get the pissing contest started.

Absolutely...back in the day my '50 chebby with twice pipes had black wheels. Until I could afford chrome...

You might be onto something, once car makers start offering them, it's time to look elsewhere for that different look

I think you may be spot on with that analogy. After all, it seems that all it takes is for some movie star or sports star to have something on their ride and then all the easily impressionable people want them. I dunno...maybe people think that if they get the same wheels that Aron Rodgers has that they will then be able to throw a football like him.....

How about the often incorrect term of "Upgrade" -- when in fact most smart guys know you just downgraded your Nice Corvette when you Mod it.

Heaven forbid someone "upgrade" to a transparent top instead of keeping the delaminating painted one. Or "upgrade" the harmonic balancer because someone doesn't like the Nice Corvette chirping stocker...
