Here is a hint for some of you guys before posting: If you have stock or GM wheels on your car, you are probably 99% not going to get selected

Every calendar car used in the current calendar had aftermarket wheels on it.

You get what you pay for, in more ways than one.

Well that sucks, especially considering how nice some of the GM wheels look.

Even knowing I have the stock wheels on it now, I still have to represent the White WS6 crowd.

Sure, but everyone has GM wheels. Calendar cars need to stand out above the crowd a little, so the car can't really look stock-ish. Wheels are THE greatest change you can do other than a custom paint job to make the car unique.

Now, if your car itself is unique, and you have a buddy with some badass wheels, nothing is stopping you from borrowing those wheels for a photo shoot

Here's mine, even though it won't get picked it's really shiny. LOL GM wheels are nice, and they're cheap. Those 00+ SS wheels cost me 450 shipped to my door new. I just can't fathom shelling out 3 or 4 grand for some pimpin' rims. The next thing I'm buying is a turbo... maybe later (like way later) down the road I'll pop for some better rims, but no way now....
