damn, you guys are cruel i was gonna get those wheels for my vette. its a 79, and i was getting 18s, but if you ever saw them moving you would know why. the only way ive ever been able to describe it is it looks like there is a chrome fist-fight. the shine jumps back and fourth, and it looks just plain badast. but its all opinion anyway right? the stereo... some people just dont know when they are buying crap. they figgure, best buy carries it, so it must be decent...

one more comment about the wheels. if it had the Greenwood GFX and wing, it would be a drool-worthy car IMO. i think it looks damn good, but you have to like those rims to think so. if you dont like em, the car looks nasty. if you do the car looks great.

I think the little opening at the top of the wall serves as a peep hole and a generic port. Some people. Whatever they were thinking. I would never do that to my car and it's an '87 muchless a '92vette.

The only purpose on that huge lip on the back must be to block your rearview. Jensen what kind of moron spends over 10,000 on a car then over 2,000 or rims then goes out and buys a crapomatic jensen to push 2 solobarics

It came off e-bay so it must be real. I think the wheels are ok but the system leaves little to be desired. The wheels would look better on something else rather than the vette. Oh well another bites the dust!
