Which wheels should I keep?
« on: January 14, 2007, 08:09:28 PM »
I have too many sets of wheels and tyres taking up space in my garage.  I own 3 cars and have 7 sets of wheels and tyres all with heaps of tread.

I'm going to sell one Corvette set but I don't know which.  Does my car look better with the 88/89 set or the 91/92 set?

Please don't let it be a tie otherwise I may have to horde them all.;38

Polished 88/89 wheels:



Painted 91/92 wheels:

I voted for the second set.

In the pics the top set look better, but when we were looking at it yesterday and comparing it to the other vettes I remember thinking it was better with the painted.

Either way it's a very tidy car.

i voted for the polished set...BUT.... i bet if you sell the painted set you will wish you still had them....best option? go to hardware shop and buy a 3 metre square shed...bit of concrete and shazam.....storage.. probably have room for  more rims as well...

Thunder Kiss,

I think the 91s look a little more aggressive and are my pick but i reckon you should just keep both sets.
Your lady really can't have to many sets of shoes.
One set for the street and one set for the track (I noticed that one set had the 032Rs' on them). Or are you giving up on the play time at the track?
NOW WE'RE TORQUING!

No, that's the 3rd set that have the 032Rs.  I will be keeping that set.

Now there's an idea, but I like the look of the factory wheels, I just can't decide which I like better.

It's not REALLY that bad, if I wanted to I could find space for them under the house, but I think it's a waste having 3 sets of wheels for one car.

Thunder, IMO, the painted 91/92 "sawblade" wheels make the car look hot! Much more of a "performance" look.  The other wheels are nice, but are a older, "classic" look.
Great looking car, regardless...:evil

Thanks for all your opinions guys, it's too close to call.
I'm going to keep both sets for the time being.
