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.

Jewel, Elizabeth (2006).

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