Painted Wheels -YUK

I don't get the painted wheels. I see that they are extremely popular, but I don't like em at all. They look dirty to me I know it's a matter of opinion and taste. I guess I'm old school.

I say Gold and Diamonds on my women
Crystal for my fine drink ware
Leather for my funeral furniture
Silk for my women's night gowns
CHROME for my rides

Just my opinion...

I don't mean to be offensive. I guess I just too old to change. I did see a White Z06 with White gloss wheels that I thought was pretty good looking. If I smoked anything, I would have to call an ambulance with all the heart melds to Docs got me on. My dealer tells me everyone wants Black high gloss.

Well, in my crazy life I've smoked my share of twisted smokes if ya know what I mean. I smoked 4 packs of Marlboro a day for 40 years. Now I have hardened arteries. Not fun.

At least I have my cars and my family.

Indeed it does. The perfect pad for a DD. Not so perfect for a track car as they do not perform as well.

We had that option when we ordered our Z06 but I didn't know the full story. I would love less brake dust. Makes wheels easier to keep clean. We live n learn.
