Just realized I'm on my 8th set of wheels....
Starting with the stock wagon wheels in 1997 here is what I've had over the years:
1..Stock painted wagons
2...special high reflective painted stock wagons (supplied by paint vendor)
3...stock polished thin spokes (supplied by Reynolds wheel salesman)
4...stock 10 spoke Z06 painted wheels (supplied by Reynolds wheel salesman)
5...stock C6 chrome plated standard 5 spoke wheels (bought from forum member)
6...Iforged polished rim/brushed centers Evos (forum GP purchased new)
7...Aftermarket black spyders (forum vendor)
8...Forgestar CF5s (to be installed this spring)
I may have missed some in there somewhere....what a ride!

Impressive though, at what I paid for tire mounting / balancing last time, you've got a grand just in mounting tires! Lol
Not sure what that is in your avatar, but it's pretty badazz look'n.

I'm addicted too.
I have had 6 sets of C5 wheels and 9 sets of C4 wheels. Not counting what is on the cars and the 3 sets I sold last fall, I still have 5 sets not on cars.
I also have spare sets for my Impala, truck, and Charger.
I like swapping them and changing the looks. See the thread below for some pictures.

I think about swapping exhausts often. Just got my second set of wheels and I have a feeling it won't be my last but I am pretty happy with them except for being much harder to clean than my C6 5 spoke.

Funny you should say that...that is the main reason I've gone back to the basic 5 spoke. I used to spend close to an hour on wheels...no more!

Plus a 5-spoke is just so classic and timeless! Works in so many applicatoins.
