If you like them, that's what matters though, but since you asked for opinions......

@JVette You are right. Hmm, what if I paint the letters white?!

They look good but they are a bear to clean and keep clean. think I'll be back to chrome for that reason.

Whom do I contact about "Black Wheel Club" decals/emblems/stickers similar to what the "Z51 Corvette Owners Group" members have on their cars?

I hear you. One reason I passed on "intricate" wheel designs. The time required to clean and general up-keep.
The pic was taken about 10 minutes after install. I've since cleaned the wheels and applied Rejex. Quick wipe. Easy clean. Worked great on the polished wheels, hope the same applies to these wheels.

How right you are ... So, I had some new "Black Wheel Club" decals made for my GS last night. Put them on early this morning and have already received many complements on the car. Many of these complements came from the kids that were waiting for the school bus this morning when I slowly passed them by while honking my horn and waving.

In fact, I will be selling these for an introductory price of only $119.95 for both sides to "Corvette Forum Black Wheel Club" members.

Gives the car kinda a "race car" look too, don't ya think!



But wait, there's more ... A new set of "STP" decals will be included free for the first 10 members that order from me!

Can't wait to go to the next car show with my GS!
