Default Pics of my new wheels
Well I made the change from Chrome to Black, I've seen simular wheels on the corvette forums and was hesitant about changing. I'm starting like like them so I thought I'd post and let you guys take a look also.
Old wheels first:

I just took some pictures with both, I'm currently running the black and I'm keeping the chrome lugs on. Have you bought your wheels yet? Mine are 17x9.5 and 18x10.5's. I'm a dealer for the wheels on my car.

Hey bullit, thanks and I do like the strip as it seperates the tire from the wheel. Gives it a little better look to me.
