I throught there was a thead like this before but I searched and can't find it. I sold the CCWs that I had on my car so it's time to start another quest. I'm thinking about either a 19/20 of 20/20 combo for this year. I have mixed feelings on going with black on a yellow car. Definately don't want polished because they are way to much work to keep looking good.

This thread might make a good sticky!

I know everyone has their own taste, and I don't mean to criticize anyone with different taste than me, but for the life of me I can't figure out the appeal of those Ronal rims that everyone has been getting.

They just look like they belong on an SUV or a Cavalier to me. I prefer a more simple design without curving spokes. I guess I'm just getting old.

Not a big fan of the Ronals either. They look too blingmaster fresh for me. Probably look good on a 300C in 20s, but I think they cheapen the look of a Corvette. Just my opinion, I tend to favor performance/racing inspired designs for sports cars.

Tom, how about these in silver face:

I hate to critisize and the poor guy with the Ronels is taking it in the shins but ( fugly)

and stunner660 your wheels are to big it looks funny sorry had to say it the wheels them selves are nice but it makes it look like a riced civic with wheels that big. ( definition of that hated word= non functional improvment)

Stunner you get an A+ for design
But an F for sizing

19/20's are as big as you ever want on a vette... the baller wheels look way out of place.
