Default New wheels on

Finally finished getting the new wheels on. Took some work but not as bad as I've heard it to be. Now just waiting for the hood and spoiler in a couple weeks. It was hard to let go of the black wheels but now I love these. OEM C6 Z06 18x9.5/19x12.

Looks good. What made you go with those over the deep dish style?

Looks really good. Theyre not too different from the replica's but the OEM's always look 100% better on the car and just in general.

I'm NOT a fan of shiny polished/chrome bling, but, those DO look good on there.

Did you consider black chrome at all, or was the cost to do that to the OEM wheels prohibitive?

I wonder what the 12s ALL AROUND would look like on our cars?

That looks awesome. I might be in the minority here, but I like satin chrome wheels over black wheels.

They sell on Ebay but you can call them up or order from their website. House of Wheels. They have new and slightly used, mine were new. 900$ for the wheels, not bad imo*

I seen a guys car on a FB LT1 site, a 96 SS with these wheels and I was sold. Even though the deep dish is nice I like these way better, love the 12 inch rear. I just wanted to try something besides black, been doing those for about 8 yrs. They had black but I wanted the polished. I also like the slight concave on the rear.Wait till I get the hood,, its a hood that I never did like but with the paint scheme that will be going on it will def change peoples opinion about that hood*** New hood, new spoiler, and my new emblems and Ima take a break from modding if I can. Fingers crossed*

Going with the 96-97 SS spoiler and as for the hood I will let it speak for itself once on. Don't want to be pre-bashed for it. Its one I NEVER considered until I seen one with the paint scheme that's going on it. Shouldn't be to long now.

Hood is here and so is spoiler. Thanks to sweetbmxrider for being an honest seller. That extra $$ is still coming to you. Now just waiting for first free day to drop it all off for paint.
