..... so Louis - what size are those crappy old fart ARs that you don't want any more? how many and how much? plenty of us old guys with C3s looking for a decent set of used wheels.Wink
 
(love the Foose wheels but my banker would never give me the ok)
 
Good luck - and nice to hear you're working on your Vette again.

ok guys....

THe car has been painted...

fresh out of BAKE its MIRROR! I CAN SHAVE IN IT! and they STILL have to wet sand, polish cut and buff... BEAUTIFUL PAINT AND COLOR!

BUT THE WHEELS ONCE THE COLOR AND PIECES ARE ALL TOGETHER... PARDON M FRENCH BUT LOOK LIKE ANUS! I mean don't get me wrong great wheel, I still like em.... but fact of the matter is... what I've done will shock the corvette community around the world, also classic auto and auto customizers around the world I'm sure will all have questions....... everyone said it was impossible, lets just say baldwin motion the C2 mid engine modders said it wasn't possible...

And then... you have my plan disgusting wheels that don't match anything on the car... everyone's got em.... and depression. I was excited for the paint..... happy when I saw that deliciously evil color...
but disgusted and depressed with the look of the wheels.... I wanted to kill myself... after all this time.. its gross... any ideas?

Louis, sounds to me like you just need to sit down and work it out for yourself.   We gave our opinions already and if you disagree, that's fine.  You know what you want and how much you have to spend, so I want to wish you the best of luck in your search.  If you don't want the TTII wheels, and we certainly don't want you to kill yourself, so I'm sure someone here would be happy to take them off your hands, just put them up for sale.

Hey Louis,
What about Boyd Coddington Wheels?
I know he passed away but is his company still in business?
Just a suggestion if it's a viable one. (I don;t know.)

Guess you've been spending too much time in the shop working on the Vette.  His passing was in the news and plastered in nearly every major magazine associated with the automotive world.

I agree with my other brother Larry..... sounds like you kinda know whut you want. Why not post some pics of your choices in a poll and we can then vote for what we like. You can go from there...

As for your cars front end I can't wait to see the thing so I will know if i will love it or hate it. If its as radical as you say the purist in me will hate it. but Im always open for some kewl lookin mods so lets see the thing....

Your playin it up real big so this ought to be super interesting. When Louis when.......???
