Default Z06 wheels before and after pics

Just installed Z06 reproduction wheels from Zip. Had the polished aluminum which I liked, but wanted some more zing. I debated long and hard on whether to shell out the cash. All my friends said they wouldn't do it, but it's my car. Anyway, for those interested, here are the before and after pics. I think it looks way better. What do you think?

All the difference in the world, Dave. I can imagine it was pricey, but man- the Vette looks great !

Congrats -

Not just way better......light years better. IMO, chrome just makes the yellow pop. Very sharp, very worthwhile mod. Congrats!

Chrome is the only way to go, nice job and great mod, really makes your Velocity Yellow standout.

Looks great! I hated the polished wheels on my '05. GM really robbed us on that one. Those wheels looked like chit.

I just did the same thing. Got new tires too. Now I have 2 sets of wheels.
As long as it doesn't snow tomorrow, I'll put them on and post some pics.
