Default Hmm. Machined face Z06's.

I was wondering if anyone has seen these wheels. I was browsing ebay a few weeks ago and came across them. I think they look good except for the chrome centercap (just doesn't flow w/ the wheel IMO). What do you guys think? I'd love to have a set, but I'm weary of getting them and they look like ****.

Yeah I'd really like to see them on a car. I'm REALLY thinking about getting them now. I mean I have a pic of an LT1 TA with ROH Snypers (Machined face w/ black inside) and it looks sick. I"m sure the Z06's would look the same.

Wow, I think they look pretty good. I mainly like the areas that have been blackened... Maybe have the centercap black.

They look nice, but if they are from OEWheels, you might have a problem getting them balanced. It took about 8 different weights to get mine balanced. They are mass produced, and not the best quality. That is why you can get 4 17" ZO6s for $359. I had their black ZR1s, and I liked them, but they're just not the roundest wheels available.

Does anyone know if the tomz wheels will be the same prob. to balance?

BTW here's one of Brad's recent renderings that he did on his computer. He's awesome with these programs I can't wait to see his magic worked on these wheels and my car. This pic was made from scratch.
