Default tomzwheels.com is THE wheel site

I just ordered my 18x8.5 black C6 Motorsports from Tom, and I'm tickled. They're gorgeous. They went on my red "bird", and I don't know if it's b/c they're the first set of aftermarket wheels I've put on my car or what, but I just feel like a little kid on Christmas morning. They were about $200 cheaper for the set than ANYWHERE else, and I looked everywhere. When I opened up the boxes, I was thrilled to see that every one of them was flawless. And if you're wondering why I went with the 18x8.5 all the way around, it's b/c 2 of my factory wheels got it pretty bad from the construction around the neighborhood and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I have some PICTURES COMING SOON (snapped them but don't have my cable at the moment) that should be useful because I haven't seen too many people with the black C6 Motorsports on the f-bodies (mostly chrome) compared to a lot of the other ones that people are ALWAYS requesting pics for. And don't be turned off by the chrome rivets: I was skeptical at first, but the wheels look even better in person even with the chrome all the way around.

IF TOM OFFERS WHEELS THAT YOU BUY SOMEWHERE ELSE, YOU'RE PROBABLY A DUMB ***!

Before and after pics...please excuse the crappiness of the pics. And yes, it's been raining and all the construction around here makes all this nonsense stick to my otherwise gorgeous tires.

Before - Obviously



After - It's the best pic so far (unfortunately)



Washed the car and look what happened...




It's what I like, so I hope yall enjoy. And maybe it can help you guys with some decisions and Tom with some business.

looks 1000x's better. I would have gotten some wider wheels personally, it would have set the car off. but I understand your reasoning.

I want that exact set for my silver Z28. I can't decide between 19/18 or 19/20 though. I have an extra set of wheels for drag tires, but I think 19/20s would look sick.

Where do I get caliper paint? I was on this bad *** site that had VHT caliper/drum paint (probably wouldn't paint the drums), caliper decals, center cap decals, and a crap load of other stuff. I can't find the site for the life of me anymore though. I'm SOOOO pissed. The stuff was pretty inexpensive too. Oh well. I agree though. Red calipers and black drums would be the bee's knees. Then I just need to black out the side markers and it would be totally red and black.....And I'd need that LS7 engine I want. HAHA!
