Yeah, I have a feeling this will be the next Z06 wheel in terms of popularity...certainly can't beat the price with a stick.

If I had a silver car, those silver ones would be mine...I just don't like how they look on black, and I don't like the black on black. Guess it is back to the drawing board for me...

That's like the HP lightning rims. I was like the 3rd person to get a set behind Tony and another guy and now they seem to be the "it" wheel.

I still love the way the car looks... I can't wait for this spring to show the car off at some show-n-go's.

Hmm, I'm not buying the Privats. I bought the more expensive forged version instead, the Boyd F-09s



I also love my HP racing wheels even if they become whored out by everyone. They just look too damn good to replace for the price.

Those are tight Tony. How much were they, if you don't think I'm being too pretentious? Those aren't too bad. I

EDIT: Nevermind, I found them for about $550-600 per wheel. Not too bad, but much steeper than the Profils.

Profil = 1 piece cast aluminum wheel, like stock wheels
Body = 2 piece forged aluminum wheel, with soft lip hoops, face is machined out of billet.

18s cost $600-625 each.
Yep, pricey but sometimes it costs a little more to be unique

Those Racing Hart wheels I had on the Formula cost around $700 each
