Looks great. Are those the stock LT1 wheels?

They grew on me as well. I was all set to buy aftermarket but my luck hasn't been the best with wheels. If you go with aftermarket, any brand, make sure you read the warranty close as it will surprise you.
Good luck with what you choose.

Two tone a/red with GT2 seats or all black interior on a 2LT Blade Silver? Your thoughts.

Any one got a pic of a real Blade silver with a/red two tone seats or a 1LT with a/red seat?
