CZ28.com Speical Edition POLL-WHEELS
Ok, you had to know a poll was coming. Not putting the cart before the horse here, but lets have a little fun w/ this. I was just curious to see how impossible it would be to make us all happy w/ a CZ28.com special edition so lets vote on what type of mods we would like on the car. Note that there are several polls covering various areas of potential modifications, so vote in all of them.

If you left it alone, you WOULD look like the thousands of other SS's on the road.

I didn't it make it clear, sorry
I would like wheels of my own choosing. Whatever comes with it will be replaced with an aftermarket.

If I had to choose between an exhaust system, custom paint, or wheels, I would choose the custom wheels to help distinguish the car from the other 130,000 units that GM will be selling in 2009.
Does anyone remember the 1991 and 1992 Firehawk? They had their own 17 x 9.5 inch wheels from Ronal. They were SO awesome and made us all so jealous! No one could buy them! Then out came the Impala SS with a knockoff of the Ronal and I so wanted that car, mostly for the wheels.
I think a custom wheel can do that to a car and Jason's wheel design is distinctive, light and simple. It's just a little pricey but that's probably nothing that couldn't be cured with some volume manufacturing.

I just had a thought. What if you bent a rim beyond repair, or they got stolen. How do you replace these? Does the manufacturer make extras, or do they just whip out a new one on an as needed basis (hopefully they save the design in a secure place!!)

Good point. Those original wheels for 96 Grand Sports Corvette are expensive, unless you get a set of knock offs.
