New c6 Wheels!

I just put on my new c6 chrome vette wheels. They look pretty good. I only have 3 now and I'm looking for one more. Also coming soon is a 2" drop all around. Let me know what you think...

Wheels arent bad, but a drop would definately set them off. Love them on Iansane's car.

Re: New c6 Wheels!

Welcome to the club



But your centre caps are on incorrectly. The bottom of the flags should point to your centre caps

Re: New c6 Wheels!

Do you mean the bottom of the flags should point to the Valve stem? By the way I probably wouldn't have ever gotten these wheels if I didn't see your car with them when you had the 17's and the v6.

Re: New c6 Wheels!

What are the center caps like on these? Do they seem like they would fall off easily? Do they just pull off by hand or do you need to take the wheel off of the car first?

They are like center caps on most newer cars w/ aluminum wheels(just pop into place). They would definetly not fall off easy. I would probably take the wheels off to get the caps off so you don't scratch anything.

In that pic, the centre cap should be rotated one spot clockwise... Does that make sense?

They look awesome man. There are a few places on e-bay you can get knockoffs, or at Lakeshore Wheel & Tire.
