Cool preview of HRE wheels on Z06

I had the HRE wheels on the Z06 since Saturday, nothing but rain and clouds since then. I ventured out on Sunday morning to do a photo shoot, got rained on. Rain again when I got home tonight. Sneak peek in the dry garage:

I'd keep the Viper. Always been a dream car of mine, since I first saw the blue/white 1996 GTS coupe. The Corvette is a more comfortable car and makes a better daily driver, but the Viper is a better toy. I don't need comfy seats and cupholders, or electronic gizmos for a toy. For the Z06, I wanted something less flashy since I'll be daily driving it on nice weather days. That is why I went with a darker color, and darker wheels. No real bling that jumps out and grabs you like the Viper does. That means cops will pay less attention too!

I think cops will pay a lot of attention to both those cars! Love what you did with them!

Nah, not in Houston. Corvettes are like bellybuttons down here. I probably see as many Corvettes as I do V8 Mustangs.
