Dave1647545494 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 if thats your thing... the stock wheels put the power to the ground just like those carbon fiber ones do though. you could turbocharge your car for that money smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 jesus balls those are hot... but at that price and with the condition of Columbus's roads, I'd advise against it in any case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I wasn't as obvious as I had previously thought. I'm not serious about them. They are cool from a weight savings standpoint. But not $6,500 cool. But I like the idea.

Guest ERock Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 i was jusst thinking that...they say carbon is alot stronger than aluminum, but i wouldnt want to risk it for that kind of money for wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest racinbird Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Freaking awesome looking, 1/2 rotating mass would be nice, but $6500 damn!! Just dont park in the wrong neiborhood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh heh, you asked our opinions / we just gave them Understandable. I'm too poor to afford even one of those anyways. smile.gif Also, I think they said you can get the magnesium part in 300 different colors, and the carbon fiber part in 3,000 different colors. If I had the money to afford a set, I'd go with a silver carbon fiber color that matched the magnesium part. Other than the ugly black lip, I don't think they look too bad.

Kohones Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Capt'n - I hear you, I'm poor too!!! Since you & I (I think) are the ONLY electron blue Z06's on this board? I'm anxious to see your car! That color was an optional one & ya don't see it often like the millenium yellows, reds etc - Nice choice! graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team EB Z06? graemlins/thumb.gif haha. Yea, I think I saw your car out at Hooters a couple weekends ago when everybody met up there. It was looking awesome. I love EB when it's dark and the light hits it just right. Thanks for the compliments on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XChris1632X Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 yeah i thought i was the only one that caught it but the way i read it that said the price was 6k each. you can suck me for 6 thousand for all four much less one damn wheel. how would anyone justify spending 26k to save less weight than i could piss every hour. even for 6 thousand its rediculous. they arent even all that cool looking. people have to much damn money. specially since they say they are out of stock. ok im done ranting.
