Default So I took the advise, thoughts?

Since most of you thought 20's were to big I purchased some 17's. I put them on tonight. From what I understand they are pretty rare, they were an option on the Lingerfelter LT4 Corvette package. They have not been in production for over 10 years. I looked online and could not find the sizes, bolt patern or width all in the same style so maybe these are rare? Who knows? Who cares....I like the style of them. They are 3 peice 17x9.5. Tires are 275/40/17 on all four corners. So the question, which ones to you like better....old chrome ones or new machined 17s? Im up in the air.....once again be honest! Thoughts??

They were never stock, it is my understanding that these were part of the 410hp performance package as an additional option. The say Enkei on the front but are stamped LPE on the back. Could care less if I was sold a bill of goods or not, I purchased them at a reasonable amount. So.....chrome or the new silver ones?

My vote is for the machined 17's. They look great!

20's are for a pimp-mobile.

yeah 17's look great and will ride MUCH better. for the Shows depending on wich you goto. the 20's would have done you good at the world of wheels. but not so much at a bass pro shops type show. you know what i mean?
