New Wheels
I recently changed wheels, although, not by much. Changed from Chrome Z06 replicas to Gunmetal Z06 Replicas in 17x9.5.
Here is a before pic:
Here is after.........(also added some clear corners)
I just got tired of the chrome. It took me a few days to get used to the new look, but I like the new setup better. I think the chrome was a "showcar" look and the gunmetal is more of a "sporty" look, IMO.
I bought these from DTD. They are listed as "silver" on both the website and the box that they came in, but are in fact, gunmetal. Now, I just need to get the chrome wheels cleaned up so I can sell them.
So, what does everyone think?

The gunmetals look good. Nice switch. I'm about to get away from chrome too, it's not for me. $960 shipped for the wheels/tires in sig if anyone's interested.
Btw, msbz: those look like American Racing TTII's to me.

5POINT7- Yeah, just got tired of the chrome and wanted a different look, but I like the Z06 style wheel.
msbz_ls1- Nah, wasn't a mean response. The angle of the top pic (chrome Z06 wheels) could have been better to illustrate the difference between it and the gumetal Z06 wheels (rest of the pics). I have more pics of the chrome at the link in my sig.
adamp and 93TAWicked1- I still need to clean the wheels up (pretty dirty from some rain days we had) and inspect them for any flaws. I do know that one wheel has a slight curb rash on it (have to get pretty close to the wheel to see it) and at least two wheels have a pinhead size "scar" or two from rock dings which might polish out, I dunno. Anyway, I will come up with a price after I look at them. I want to make sure that whoever buys them knows about any and every flaw before they buy.....that is how I would want to be treated. Anyway, if you want to discuss further or if you have an offer in mind....feel free to send me a PM.
To everyone else, thanks for the replies.
