That might be on the agenda then. Can you reuse the wheel sensors or do you have to buy new for a new set of wheels?

It will look like sex:
I scrolled too quickly, started looking at the pictures. "Damn that car is shiny. Wait,..." scroll back up. Ofcourse Jon. Nice photoshop.

The 6 lug does need 6 spokes imo. I can't afford them either that's why I have stockers.

BTW anyone looking for the ULTIMATE in wheel cleaner. 3m concentrate heavy duty body shop wheel cleaner. 2 parts water to 1 part cleaner. WORKS FOR TWO WEEKS! I do have the Hawk dustless pads on, but it cleaned the insides of the rims.

If they were done tastefully the 6 lug 5 spoke shouldn't look too bad. We have 6 lug 7 spoke stock. It would have to be a little different since the lugs are in between each spoke on the z06 wheel. I think the centers would have to be more like the GM optional wheels.

Mallett makes a split six-spoke for our cars. They are not cheap, but they are one of the best looking wheels I have seen. Of course I think these are right up there too, compliments of CCW:

If you were gonna repro some wheels, I always thought the early Z06 wheels were really unattractive.

The later Z06 "spyder" wheels are better looking, but V2 wheels would really look good I think also.

As mentioned, I don't think the Z06 type wheel, where the lug mounts outside/between the spokes would work. The V2 wheel where the lugs are in an inset center could probably be drilled numerous ways.

Well it won't start until Friday (using my buddy's garage with airtools) maybe start on it thurs night if I'm lucky.

I'm guessing this will be the longest week in history.

Funny...so, you think our 7 spoke wheels look like *** with our six lug wheels?
