I really like those, I only wish they were wider than 10" in the rear

- I was gonna pull the trigger on a set!

They look great on your Vette, compliment it really good!

Thanks,Matt

I wasn't aware of this C7 option until browsing the C7 forums. These rims are polished aluminum, not chrome. More understated look than chrome as the difference between the chrome center caps and wheel. A lot of negative comments from the C7 guys that they don't shine like a mirror. I'm old enough to remember old school polished aluminum rims from the 60's & 70's.
Thanks to everyone for the comments.
