Did you upgrade your brakes also? Can’t tell from the pictures.

Is it just me, or has this thread become a wee bit schizophrenic?

Back on top, boys....back on topic.


These wheels look like XO Luxury/Veronas. Is that correct? This is one of the reasons I have a problem with black wheels....you can't see any details.

I have no idea why my photos appeared in this thread in the C7 forum when I was posting to topic "Random picture thread...that you took" https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-you-took.html

in the "Off Topic" forum. I see others appear to have this issue as well. Are these two threads in C7 & Off Topic somehow connected?

This has happened to me prior...

The rim is the "outer edge of a wheel, holding the tire."[25] It makes up the outer circular design of the wheel on which the inside edge of the tire is mounted on vehicles such as automobiles. For example, on a bicycle wheel the rim is a large hoop attached to the outer ends of the spokes of the wheel that holds the tire and tube.
from:
Jewel, Elizabeth (2006). The Pocket Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus. Oxford University Press. p. 722. ISBN 978-0-19-530715-3. Retrieved 2012-01-04.

So apparently he bought 4 wheels onto which he installed tires. And those tires were installed on the rims of the wheels.
