I like the first set, the concave wheels best.

I like the bronze idea, especially on a white or black car. I also like the concave wheel design, but the car will need to be really slammed to look right. I think concave wheels look funny with any wheel gap at all.

I agree with Neil. The concave wheels with the center lock will definitely give the car more of a "supercar" feel and look to it.

Very cool build, please no more black wheels! First set ftw!

Thanks everyone!! I forgot how hard this is to decide the wheel choice. I feel the wheels will make or break the final look plus I'm extremely picky. I think I'm going to wait to get the body on the chassis and on the ground at ride height and take some pics to see if I can photoshop the wheels on it. The designed the car to have the fender swallow about 1/2 of the top the rim and all of the tire above it. I like that look alot.

Thanks Brian! Your car was my inspiration to cut up a perfectly good vette! Lol. Every time someone asks me why I'm doing this to a vette I bust out a picture of your car. They instantly stop giving me crap. Lol

Awesome fab work. By the way, who makes those fender flares you have mocked up?

A guy named Jim Freeman. I got his number off the corvette forum from someone else who used him. He is out of Sacromento, CA. If you need his number I can pm it to you. Thanks for the kind words on my work!

Impressive work on the chassis! Those bronze wheels would look amazing on white. Sometimes your wheel preferences can change drastically during the time the car is being built, so if you cant decide now, you could always wait until later on?
