Car looks great, but certainly you can find some better looking drag wheels than those.

I used to have my own detailing business. Yes i used a buffer these are cell phone pics they are not the greatest.

The wheels are light as **** and run no spacers, use stock lug nuts and very little grinding. Nothing like prostars or drag lights. I have about Got them with 1,000 miles on the with M/T all the way around new for $800.

I am pretty sure I'm getting tired of all the damn negativity in every dn thread I read. There's nothing wrong with his car th paint is fine. Some of ya need to lighten up and quit actin like if it isn't show room perfect then it's just ****. The car looks great and the wheels really make it look tough. As well as serving their purpose they are light and perfectly good rims to use

Thanks! I drive my **** everyday so dont care what people think It has 127,000 miles with original paint, motor, 6 speed and 10 bolt and i beat the hell out of it. Its paid for and i gotten well over my money worth out of it. 1st time ive herd anything negative about it and look at the post count LOL. You going get negative **** people that keep there car in the garage 75% of the year and ever get rained on. Hell i sold the played out chrome c5 Z06 wheels to get these. LOL

Hey look its looks like every other red z28 with with z06 wheels lol



I got 35th le wheels/tire for $200 and sold for $1,000 a year later with bald rear tires and then got z06 wheels for $1,000. Drove on the Z06 wheels for a year and sold for $800 with bald rear tires then i wanted drag wheels and Picked up $1,500 worth of drag wheels and M.T tires with $100 worth of lug nuts for $800. Sold 4 of the M.T for $500 and spent $300 for street tires because of snow and DD use. So ya can say i have nothing in these drag wheels At they my fav drag wheel? No! But are better the pro stars, drag lights, or summit or jegs. I would get some BS street lights or some really crazy $2,000+ drag wheels if i had unlimited $


BTW I just moved from Warrensburg ,Mo last april. I drove it in snow and ice there too LOL still had the 26x10 MT in this pic lol not fun in snow

my snow plow lol with good rear tires

Looks damn good! It is nice to see a car with as many miles as mine and still looks just as good or better as it did the day we bought them. Can't wait to detail mine out for the spring. Oh and you didn't have to rub it in with the whole T-tops being off.
