Yes/no...The wheel package is part of the Magnetic Selective Ride Control/Performance Traction Mnangement...So yeah it was extra...Cup-style light weight wheels 19/20....

black wheels on the red vette look "cheap"

Sorry, but that's a bad combo.

Thanks. Yea, these are the "cup" wheels made to fit my stocks. You can see the similarities better in this other crappy pic I have..haha.



Good luck with your Z06 NwTSXmt. Hope you're enjoying her

That' cool man. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I will say I liked my polished stocks (heck they were a $1400 option to be polished) and the car was classier; however, these things make the car look much meaner. Matches the new sound of this monster

I will say though I can't respect a man who says "Black wheels on a red car....no" when this person has purple graphics running down the side of his.

Since Moog isn't the one who owns the Challenger with purple graphics (Sarlacc is), it seems you missed the mark on that response.

I didn't miss any mark. I was referencing the above mentioned gentleman (see quote marks ).

To be honest, I wish I had more time to take my camera out and shoot some good pics. Most of the ones I have taken are crappy, impromptu ones. My camera skill also need some work/practice. Wish I had more time....

Anyway, beautiful Sunday in Houston (and the Texans aren't playing home) so I decided to shoot a couple shots before my battery died.

I think it looks great. Black wheels give it some character, plus while you're driving the only thing people see are those giant brakes.

Please tell me you're not one of those people that drives with the top down but the side windows up? And if you are at the very least could you not have put them down for the photos? You weren't joking when you said you suck at taking photos. Your car deserves better.

I dont need to "insult" you for a few reasons:
1. I dont know you nor do I give two craps about you
2. I'm not an a**hole
3. From what I do know about you, my insults would probably be too personal and simply mean/innapropriate.

Why do you have this infatuation with ruining all my threads? You're first "insult" in this thread: "Hey guys! I bought some black wheels! So, Imma take some piturez of dem at night in the dark. That way you can't even see what Im tryin ta brag about!!! Black wheels on a red car....no."

WTF is that and who are you trying to immitate? Please just stop posting in my threads. I think your challenger R/T is an overweight slow piece of crap with a gay purple stripe down the side, but I dont post that in your thread because frankly I could care less. Get lost dude.

Thanks man. Yea, the contrast of the red brakes showing through is a big plus to these wheels.

obviously, this isn't true...

yeah OK

3. From what I do know about you, my insults would probably be too personal and simply mean/innapropriate.

you always threaten and then never deliver. So, be my guest because we all know you have nothing...so, you'll probably resort to trying to insult my family instead. And yeah, its been done before

You ruin your own threads. I simply came in said my 2 cents (because the pics do suck, and I genuinely do not like the color combo) and I left.

Your sensitive little anus is the one who came in and once again tried to make an insult and steer your thread off course.

And let's be real here. You have posted in my threads...

Get lost? Make me
Youre taking youre own thread off topic...but everyone knows I'll always play

Maybe if you took some midol you'd feel better

Of all the people who said your camera sucks and they dont like your color combo, you had to try and slip in a smart ass remark towards me (because you SOOOO dont give a crap)

Dont be the catalyst and then play the victim, it makes you seem like an even bigger wetter vagina than you already are.

I like the black rims, but I hate cleaning and touching them up. Found a new curb scrape that the Wife put on them last week.

^I would say the opposite. I love how i dont have to clean these things every other day like i had to with the polished stocks. Brake dust blends in nicely with "satin black."

However, I do have to clean the actual calipers more often as they show completely through this style of wheel.

Hero2's are cheap now that the Hero3 is out. Only real difference is WiFi (and some other small differences). Jump on one of those before inventory runs out!

Better yet, I'll let you drive her and you tell me what you think. I'll be out of town this weekend but will be back in town next week. I'll give you a call.

GoPro Hero 2 $199

Hey man, saw this on slickdeals the other day and thought you may want to grab it, $199 and comes with the suction cup that is $29 normally I believe.

Walmart has a similar price and it will probably go down a bit more but...

Thanks man. I've been researching this, and the Hero3's (white edition) pretty much give you a hero2 with a smaller size and small updates. They are $199 at Target or Wallmart, which is not bad. Debating on just pulling the trigger on that or just springing on the Hero3 Black edition which is double the price. For my duties, I dont think its worth it.

Does the 'Vette have any cup holders? Maybe you could keep a big cup of self-control in one of them next time you go to a shop.



Nice ride.

You're right, I was hoping to take some comparison shots (windows up/down) but like I said, my battery died before I could. Some better pics and vids to come...

Yea, I'm using both cup holders with 20 oz cups of self control from now on. I almost got suckered into the $8K E-force Supercharger last time I stopped by the shop, but I'm done spending on this thing...

Test run I'll learn from....this thing is too powerful to try to drive and hold a camera....lol

It rips to 150 mph before it has any hint of slowing down, but this was too dangerous as is. I ease off a little on the 1st shift and let go early in 3rd at 100 mph. Hopefully Santa will bring me a GoPro....
