None stock chrome rims/wheels on a vette look like a pimp daddy drugger driving the car....like dark tinted windows...especially if it's noticeably slammed...
now having pissed off about 1/2 the guys....;-)))
brushed aluminum with black or gray metallic accents is ok....more or less stock appearing vette wheels....or maybe the ageless Torque thrust D style...
but hideous chrome sucks....especially on a stock wheel....

Decisions, decisions. :lol: :lol:

Those are just highly polished aluminum rims that can be mistaken for chrome, right?

I like em. :yesnod:

Yes they are polished aluminum rims. I think that the background of the rallys are giving them an unfair advantage. I will have to go up and take some more pics from the same place to make it fair. Also, I left the car parked in the garage for about 3 hours and not a single drop of transmission fluid came out!!

Hi Terry
Are this 17 inch wheels ?
Do they still use the factory center cap ?
Do you have a close up pic ?
Thanks, Gunther

They both look nice, but Torq II would look better I think. *shrug*

Right now the Rallys are painted White, I considered black but saw another white vette with them painted white and really liked it. If you look at the last pic I posted you can see it the white, I think it blends in nicely.
