Default some new pics today, the old ones didnt do the wheels justice

me and some of the maryland guys have been talking about taking pictures at this location for a while, so I tried the light out around 6 today...still a little too much light, and way too much heat....

the look is starting to really grow on me, took it to a national import event just for kicks and took best domestic last weekend....

Typically I am not a fan of those type of wheels, but I got to say those are the best I have seen in a long time. I would not mind having a set like that myself. I like the look a lot. BTW: What brand are they and if you don't mind what was the cost of the wheels?

I could easily get used to that look as well! What is cool too is the minimal amount of fasteners...the 39 rivet look is growing old fast!

There you go again, looking all good and stuff... To me, that is the nicest set of rims I have seen, really sets your Vette off.

Man, those wheels are stunning. Not sure if the color matched lips would work on all colors, but on your mil yellow they certainly do.
