Default new rims are on chrome C6

I just got them on yesterday. They are Chrome 18X9.5 C6 with a 58mm offset wraped in 275/35/18 pilot sports. I got a lot of complements on them...I Love them! I think Chrome is the way to go

How come there is no "Corvette flag" on your center caps? Did you have a choice on center caps?
Sweet rims tho. Just by putting rims on a car it becomes a whole new ball game. Looks very good.

Yes they are.



I did have to take a dremmel to the inside of the center mount hole and file off about the equivalent of a human hair to get them to go on the rear.

But that issue is related to an issue with the rear axle on LT1 cars. It was fixed on LS1's and shouldn't be a problem.
