The stock wheels where pretty bad.. nothing against sawblades when they are in good condition, mine aren't. I think ill list them in letgo for ~$30..

Anyways got some new wheels from oewheels

I need to go somewhere other than my ghetto a$$ neighborhood to take some good pictures.

They are 17s.. I flirted with the idea of 18s out back, but I wanted to retain the ability to rotate if I wanted.. and im cheap. But there are a bunch more tire selection in the 18s tho.

At around 50 cents a pound ... I got $38.40 from the metal recycle place for my set of four stock rims

I happen to like the C6 Z06 rims, they go together well. If yours is like mine, 18" fit on all 4 corners

How bad are those sawblades? Pics?
Are they dented and nicked up?

Sorry, but they look like hubcaps - I personally do not like black wheels. To me black wheels is something a kid does to their car to hide the inperfections on the original chrome and shinny wheels

I don't really care for them but its not a "they look bad" type thing as much as I cant SEE them. They may look good in person. Just not in the pics.

Apologies for the hi-jack, but what sizes are the 18s on your car, what year car, and what size tires are you running?

TIA,

Live well,

The shipping costs would probably be killer to Illinois 61548. If not, I could see buying them and taking them to my local Powder Coating shop.
