New C5 owner (1st Vette)
It has been a few years since I have owned a Chevy car other then my Chevy work truck as I have a few Mopar muscle cars and a Dodge Challenger Drag car but that being said I did sell one of my old Mopars a few weeks back because we have been wanting a Vette, initially wanted a C4 but after reading here and with prices not a whole lot different between late C4 and early C5's we pulled the trigger today when we found this gorgeous '98 Blue Vette with only 44k on the odometer and a clean car fax and 2 owner car. I will be leaning on you guys for more tips and knowledge!

The car inside and out and under the hood all look like new, It was a weekend car for the last couple that owned it ( 11 years) and they traded it in Friday night on a new Honda. I was glad they had not detailed it yet so I could see how well it had been kept, they washed it while we wrote the check so pretty happy right now car is tight , rattle free, I am a picky guy and you would think it was no more then 2 years old.

VERY pretty car, I love that color. I'm sure you'll love her and as for the wheels, most people here don't like em (me included) If you have some extra cash, do some research on c5 wheels and check out the for sale/trade section for some deals on some sweet wheels (most guys here like fikse/ccw/and hre if you're willing to shell out some real cash) good luck in the future and welcome!

I'm guessing 20 years form now some NCRS fanatic will be willing to give big bucks for a nice set of "wagon wheels". In the mean time you can't give them away.
PS,
That's a beautiful car.

Don't let 'em bust your nads about wagon wheels! 
I've got chrome ones on the '99 I just bought last weekend, and I like them pretty well. They are in great shape, and easy to keep clean as a bonus. Nice 'vette!
