Default Black rims with polished or chromed lip for Yellow Z06

Looking to change rims or see if i can widen the current set i have? I have a set of Black Motorsports wheels on my M Yellow Z06 and I like (not love) the rims but wish the chrome lip on each rims was wider- can they be taken to a wheel shop ( Houston area) to make the chrome lip wider/thicker without costing an arm and leg?

Or if you have suggestions ( pics too!) of some nice black rims with the polished or chrome lips that may be an option.

Thank for any and all suggestions

Default C5Aggie03-

Maybe someone out there could provide some helpful advice or a shop that can do this type of work in Houston.

I will google it later today and see if I can find something out.

I might cruise out the cars and coffee deal this saturday and maybe I can see your MY ride, do you plan on going? It would be my first time to go to this event, sounds like a lot of nice rides!

No offense to you,..... Go Horns!

I was actually thinking about going to the coffee and cars as well. If I don't make it out I will definitely go next time. I am doing an LG Longtube header install on my car Friday night so well see how that goes.

Hopefully the horns don't overlook us on Thanksgiving, Ags can move the ball and as always they will be excited to play in this game. Last year was pretty nasty so they won't need any motivation at all. Reminds me of 2007 really

Default good luck on the install on the LT's- it will make it sound schweet!

if your install goes well try to make it out there, might be there by 8'ish- coming from Clear Lake,... send me a PM so I can look for you- mine is an '04 Z06 with Black Motorsports wheels and Borla Stinger exhaust.

Horns have some issues on offense, but their Defense is becoming a dominant group- i don't see them have too much trouble with the Aggies,.. but they should not look past anyone!
