Default New wheels and stuff.......Pics.

Gerry at "Wheels for Less" hooked with me up with a great set of 360's! Thanks for keeping me posted all the way thru the process and being available whenever I needed questions answered. Great doing business with you!

DSV did a great job as well. New steering wheel and a couple other leather pieces.

Changed out that ridiculous sound system while I was at it.....Not the best pictures but you get the idea.

Btw. Stockers are for sale. 800 miles, flawless and painted. $3K

Thanks for the pics...but I need to know how you like the steering wheel? It looks great, is it as functional as it looks?

Like the color and type of wheel. Are those factory sizes, they seem large?

Really nicely done. DSV is making some pretty nice steering wheels these days. I particularly like the CF on the outside of the wheel.

It's my understanding that you can't get those 360's in 19" for the fronts? Only made in 20's?

It's really one of the best things that I have done to my cars. Everytime I drive it I'm reminded of how much I like it.

Mine are 20's front and back. I believe they have to be to clear the brakes but I'm not 100% sure. I know that I can't tell the difference at all in the way it drives.

That is not correct you can get 19's in fact I"m doing a set of 19/20's but for the ZR1 we can only fit 20/20 DUE TO THE ENORMOUS CALIPERS.

Very nice indeed.

Is there any room left for air in those tires?

Nice. It's funny I used to have a bleh feeling towards black wheels on any make/model car. I had a love/hate on the 96 Grand Sport, but after awhile I began to like them. I then went black on my C5 in 2008 and now it seems many, many cars have black wheels, but only a few really stand out.

Yours does.

It looks terrific. Maybe I'll see you at a C & C gathering in Uptown.
