Default New Hugger Orange SS

Just bought it earlier today. SLP #660. Hugger Orange, White Leather, 6 Speed with T Tops and Chrome Wheels from the Factory.

The Original owner had the Chrome Wheels removed and swapped for the Silver SS Wheels when the car was purchased new. It now has Corvette C6 Split Spoke wheels with Grey centers and polished lips.

Anyone know where I can get a set of Silver or Chrome SS Wheels with tires or without, I would be willing to trade the wheels and tires that are on it now.

The correct wheels for this car which are the SLP 5 Spoke ZR-1 Style ones. I want OEM Wheels, not "OE Style" or "OE Concept".

Honest that car is killer, and the white leather makes it a pretty rare car, i would put factory chrome 10 spokes back on it, take some pics of your wheels and put up a listing for a trade,i thought 99s had zr1s but i dont know much about that, i think you have to get so many post before you can post in the for sale section but you should be able to post it in the wanted section, if your set up is perfect you could more than likely have the other person pay for shipping to make up for the difference, killer ride man and welcome

It is supposed to have the 5 spoke ZR-1 style wheels. Like I said, the original owner had the dealer swap the chrome ones for the silver ones when it was purchased new and is documented on the bill of sale that I have. I want to find a set of Chrome ones and they need to be 17 x 9 for the '99's.

I already have them posted in the for sale section.

I always had my eye on a Hugger Orange SS. Never really looked, but this one just happened to come up and it all worked out.
