I'm digging it too. Wasn't positive if I'd like it as I really couldn't find much on the web with re: pics. It's nice to have a second set of rims in case I "tire" of em.

Just did a kit from tirestickers.com. They have a nice instructional video that walks u through the process. It's ALL about the prep. Acetone stripping the tire. Took me about 3 straight hours to get it done but they are holding up well (so far).

My OCD for symmetry won't let me sleep at night if I did only one and the front and back 'Michellin' don't line up when I park..

I really like it. What ever you can do to set your Corvette apart from all the rest and make it your own. I did mine to tie to the gold/bronze/Kalahari.

This is a great mod, if you decide you don't like it you can change it with the tires.

Appreciate the feedback fellas! My brother in law initially wasn't feeling the look then, by the end of our car cruise, was asking if he could get some in blue to match his scheme, lol. Again, I like that I can use em for a couple weeks then swap em out for my Satin black GS set. Like different pairs of shoes.

So I have the sports on mine! Lettering all around the tire! Do you just put these over the various lettering on the tire--- love the look!

Thanks Jmills
