Default Different wheels for teh Stingray

I don't know what would look best, i love the look of the 5 spoke but am tired of all the torque thrusts out there...tell me what ya guys think

these are Foose Lusso's... the wheels would be smaller but u get the general idea

My vote is that the torq thrust D looks a heck of a lot better than those Foose wheels and if ya want all chrome then the Torq Thrust II looks almost as good as the original "D".

But what is really important is what YOU think looks

They're definitely different... I don't know that I would put them on the vette. But, you need to like them as it's your vette and wheels...

You can do the Z06 Motorsports in 17x8.5, you just have to move the
Emergancy brake cable mount on the rear trailing arms.

Yea no adapters, you just have to move the E brake cable mount on
on the trailing arms.
