Merv, you know I got your back on here, and we usually agree on most topics, but I gotta say, im not liken those.

Call me an ******* if you want
They definitely look WAY better than shooters though.

I got ZR1's and a Sunoco Hood going on when the Z comes out of her sleep in a few weeks, Ill be sure to up some pics.

Merv,

Can't say I agree with you on this one but to each his own. I thought you had ZO6 wheels on it, those were nice.

I still have the Z06 Wheels also, I have 2 sets of Corvette Rims for the Car now. The Tires on these suck, I got them to light up through First, Second, and half of Third before the Car caught up with them.
As far as the LS1 Lid goes, that is all under the Hood. That was a few threads ago..

Early C5 "Wagon Wheels". I believe they are the 98 - 99's. In 2000 the C5 got the thin 5 spoke.

Those don't look too bad Merv -- personally I'm not a fan of those wheels on the vettes, but they work Not a bad deal either!
