Looking Good!

FYI We have not received any complaints about rubbing issues. Of course the right tires will need to be used.

Dont hesitate to PM if you have any other questions!

Your wheels look awesome. The only downside to XO Verona's is that the factory caps won't fit.....UNLESS you check out my thread below. Also if your factory wheels were silver no big deal. You can pop off the flags and paint the silver part with a 0.99 cent can of black spray paint or cover them in carbon fiber 3M dinoc vinyl like I did. The vinyl was only $5 on Ebay

Check out my XO'S center cap mod thread here:

I just did a temporary plastic coat on mine to see how it would look and I think I may get them done permanently.

Default Picky, picky

I see a lot of what I consider to be misnomers on this web site.

Could I get anyone to agree that 1 rim plus 1 tire = 1 wheel?

IMHO, this poster is referring to the rims, not the wheels.

Picky, picky, I know ... but I like to see the correct nomenclature when using the English language

Well...he got new rims that are wider than stock, therefore he got new tires as well, so if we do the math:

4 new rims + 4 new tires = 4 new wheels

Correct?

Yeah, you are correct, but he never said that. Obviously, I'm just a guy who only drives a Corvette, but am automotively stupid.

Thanks for clearing this up.

My daughter's summer project for a scholarship - 9 lbs cabbage. Pretty incredible for just putting in a pot and leaving it out in the front yard.

We have the cornedbeef ready to go :cheersL

A "RIM" is part of a "WHEEL", the outermost part of the wheel, is the rim, into which the tire's bead seats, a "RIM" is not a wheel, example "the rim of a crater", etc....it is ghetto ignorance that has lead to everyone calling their WHEELS, RIMS...sorry

I don't mean to be rude, but frankly like all such wheels from a distance they all look alike (and, yeah, I've a similar set on one of my cars, too).
