In my opinion people who dis the color, options, transmission choices someone else made for their Corvette are ignorant a$$holes.

Phew... Thanks guys. I was worried there were going to be so many options and I wouldn't be able to figure things out on my own.

She loves my chrome wheels and she also loves my machined S3 wheels. Who cares what you other guys think. I like them all. It's a corvette and we are all blessed.

Ok, I'm unsubscribing from this thread. 30 emails a day to tell me there's another new post on here is just too much. A thread about nothing, love it. I'll wait until it dies off and read the rest of the jabs at one another.

Chrome wheels are downright TACKY!! They don't belong on a high-end car let alone a high-end sports car! That's why you don't see most of the high-end brands offer them. I think only Cadillac and Kia offer chrome wheels these days.

You have succeeded in turning off mountains of new, younger buyers with a parade of tacky chrome. So feel good about yourself, you have perpetuated the out of touch, crank-a $$ stereotype. Friends of mine who are sports car owners and LIKE Corvette cringe at the sight of chrome rims....there's a reason for it. I can only look forward to being free from this plague.
