New wheels for my C7
I always liked the twin spoke wheels of the Z51 however I went with the base suspension because I wanted the smoother ride. In looking at the West Coast Corvette website, I saw aftermarket chrome Z51 style wheels in the 18/19 size that the base suspension has.
Has anyone had any experience with these aftermarket wheels and their quality? I would hate to spend over $1000 and then have the chrome flake off or start rusting after a year. Also does anyone know if there is a market for my original wheels which are the base painted silver although in perfect condition? |

Binko, if the aftermarket wheels in the Z51 style are the 18/19" diameters you now have on your Corvette you won't need new tires. I've had after market chrome wheels that held up well with care. Chrome polish and sealants allowed a set to look like new the day I sold them on my car to a friend.They were 14 years old. If the brand has a good reputation go for it and enjoy the eye candy. I love the twin spokes.
