wheel opinion I have the silver thin spokes on my 2000 coupe. I like the style of wheel but was considering upgrading to chrome thin spokes? What do you think?
Mike
this is my car
and here are the chrome wheels on a white c5
or something else - within reason -I would love Fikse, HRE, iForged, or CCW but what money I do have is going into go fast parts. COH has a trade in program I was looking into, that is why I'm asking.

Re: wheel opinion Be VERY careful when buying aftermarket wheels. ALWAYS ask how much they weigh then check the tire weights. If they are heavier than stock, it will make a huge difference. I think a significant difference is felt every 2 or 3 pounds. I bought aftermarket (AFS) Z06 wheels and they weighed 33 lbs each! plus tires (29.6 pounds) it came out to 63 pounds per wheel!
Thats a HUGE difference over my stock wheel weight of 46 pounds.
I went form a 13.1 to a 13.6 after changing to the AFS wheels.
