Just sell your original wheels. That's what I'm going to do.

What year wheels will you be selling? Are they the ones that crack? Mine are 2014 chrome. I'll be curious how much you get for them.

Chrome GS wheels. It's been too cold to go out and clean them up and take pictures. I'll get around to it. They are so big I don't have room to store them. Gotta go.

The new wheels look good on the car, but personally I liked the original wheels. My 2014 came with those same chrome five spoke wheels and unfortunately I sold them when I got my C7 ZR1 reproduction wheels. Wish I had kept them.

Good luck with the new wheels.

I do have mixed feelings about the new wheels. It does look better in person with the black wheels. I am not all about the BLACK look, but thought I would try these.
