This just seems like a much cheaper alternative for getting some different rims on the car, and could possibly look really good. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.
Our wheels are C6 Z06 inspired, ... I mean really... The SS\TC slaloms better than th mighty Z06 >>> (72.4 mph SS vs. 70.8mph for Z06)

Put some vette wheel caps on the wheels... I mean shucks, with a spring upgrade the skidpad goes from 0.92g's to a staggering 0.97g's

I'm doing a flat black on mine so thney will not look as dusty if they were shinny but I'm in the desert.

I've had several cars in white that came from the factory with white wheels... 1992 Ford SHO Tuarus. I think white on white would look cool on the SS.. IMHO..
