The Wife took my Rims!
I bought a set of used Z06 Rims from a 2002 Z06. They are chrome and they were really dirty, but I just wanted them to mount some Street E/T's for the track. I paid 550.00 for them and found that I had 3 extra center caps (different from the stock ones), so I sold 2 of them for 50.00 and I'm only into these rims for 500.00. Ohh, did I mention that they already had a set of Street E/T's on them (used, but still had some passes left on them). Anyways, I get them home and spend about 3-4 hours cleaning them all up. The wife comes out and sees them and said, "Wow, are those the same rims you just bought?" I said yes, they cleaned up really well. She said that they looked brand new, then I see it! She turns around and looks at her Vette and decides that they would look good on her car. Now I have to buy new rubber all the way around for hr car to go on my Drag rims and I am back at square one, less 500.00 bucks plus the cost of new tires....Some days it don't pay to have a simple idea...

Wishing you all of the best with that. Me personally, no more wife much happier life. No more "double standards". I can now buy what I want when I want it now. No more spending "double" to appease her or lying about the actual price. Sound familiar?

I didn't get that far trying them out/on. I was told that they would fit and those were the rims to look for (well Z06 Rims). Do they have to be newer then a certain year?
