Default Found the first mod for my vette

found these on corvetteforum......they'll hold me over for a few months until I get some new wheels



They're little decals that go on the wagon wheels. Makes them look 1000 times better IMO.

Agreed - those make them look MUCH better. Hmmmm, I wonder what else this idea could be used for?

You have obviously never seen the 3 spoke WS6 wheel that they made like 300 or 400 of towards the end of the 4th Gen run.
