My new DPEs are on!!! (Pics!)

ShockwaveTXB · 12-17-2006, 01:09 PM

After a few issues with the dealer having no idea how to put aftermarket wheels on, I found a shop who took care of the job. The only thing they had to do was put some short stem valves on the front and order some aftermarket pressure sensors because they advised against using epoxy or tire bands to reattach the originals.

Either way, I'm just glad to finally have them on! they are DPE R05-S 18x9.5 fronts and 19x10 rears on the factory run flats. Ever since I saw these on Nineball's ride, I've wanted these bad boys!

Anyways, here's some of the first pics I took this afternoon...

Gracias! Ya the slope is pretty steep, but not as bad as the pic looks cuz of the angle of the shot but ya...

Ya I hear that...I've been waiting a year to get them!

Keep in mind you can probably sell your core wheels for a few hundred or so as well...

I'm currently listing mine in the F/S section so hopefully that will help me recoup some of the cost hehe.

Sexy!

Looks great man,

Although they are actually 18x9 in the front, dpe doesn't offer 9.5" in the R-series.

Who'd you order the wheels from?

C6dude · 12-22-2006, 02:51 AM

Nice looking wheels. Now just loose those little GM badges off that black beauty . Congrats, and good taste...

I just called DPE directly and spoke with Ryan. Their number is:

562.424.3344

Just ask for Ryan and tell them that Brent from Corvetteforum referred you.
