I really like the new wheels. Got to love the black wheels! How do you like the Firestones?

Pretty nice! But I also liked the chrome Z06 repro wheels as well. What did you do with them? Was there a problem with them or were you just after a new look?

I have only driven the car for one day with the Firestone`s on,time will tell how they work out.One thing I can say is I liked the price of the Firestones compared to the Goodyears.

I am going to try to sell them at a swap meet I go to in May. No I did not have any problems with them, just liked the look of the new wheel better.

I don’t know, 15 years may be to soon before you can tell a guy that you don’t like his new wheels!
