The wheels on my V in the photos are two years old so the new ones you get from Luke will be even more pretty.

 

I need a week. Two at most. I have put these off too long. They are sweet. Then I can clean up the old ones and paint or chrome them for spares. I can give you a deposit tomorrow to hold em.

 

luke, i'm in for sure. i sent you an email and will call tomorrow (fri). would have called today but i got your email too late in the day.

cheers!

 

I've got a set on my V (from Luke) and I have to say I'm very pleased. I was a little skeptical about polished Al on a platinum V, but they look amazing.

Even with brake dust (as they have on them now)!

Soon after I got them... I didnt put on the lugnut caps then, but they are on now, and it matches even better.

 

Yes, They look great on Platinum.

 

I bought a set and powdercoated them a midgloss black ... I love em

They are far from clean in these pics ... I'll post nicer ones later (car is getting professionally detailed as I type )

 

I just got a quote on a clear powdercoat (I don't want to have to polish). $130.00@

WHEELS OF AMERICA in southern Calif.

24 hr. turnaround.

 

Aren't the wheels already clearcoated?
Mine are still in their boxes and wraped in plastic, so I can't confirm.
I'll check if nobody else already knows.

 

thanks to the folks that filled up the first order, it was placed today. time to start filling up the next 4 set order. email or call me. ill actually be at work tommorrow 5-12-07 from 8-2 if anyone wants to place an order. thanks again

thanks again, luke for making it happen. it's good to know there are dealers and people out there who really go out of the way for v owners. :highfive:

 

Where are your black valve stem caps.... you're slippin

 

heh ... they weren't black at the time of those pics, but they are now

 

Tell GM we want more parts. Mustang commercials hurt my feelings.

 

Got an email from Luke (thanks for doing this!). :thumbsup:

His information is that the rims are clearcoated .

Sounds good to me!

 

Can I still get in on the deal?

 

im taking as many orders as i can get. the wheels come in 16 packs for me to get the best possible price, so prefferably i would like to get orders in multiples of 4 but i will honor the $310.00 ea price no matter what!!!!!!!!!

 

HI Luke,

I can wait a while if you want to try and get 4 people to order but thank you for honoring the Group price!

BTW, Do you have the all chrome caps (including the heritage symbol) like in the pic of the black V?

 

More pics to persuade people....

 

FAILURE!

 

I've not had enough post to PM...

Could I buy the silver stockers through you? If so what is the price. I'm in need of 3, but would be willing to buy a set.

I'd really like to find one of you guys that have pulled the stockers off...but have had no luck so I'll try new.
Thanks

 

I don't get it. I seriously do not like those wheels. They make the V look heavy and ponderous. The wheels look small and weak. The originals look worlds better to me.

 

On the contrary- I find that the thinner spokes give the car a more "high-end sports car" look, as opposed to the chunky, typical stock GM wheel that looks like it could have come off an '02 Eldorado.

It's a personal taste thing, though- just like engine covers. oke:

 

It's the style, not the quality of the factory wheel that I don't like so much. Just a very boring wheel IMO.

 

I second that.

The split spoke wheels are very "me-too", but I dont care because they look great on the cts-v.

 

I'm rollin on Teddy Bear dubz, yo!

 

Now that you mention it, I guess I can see some similarity to the stockers. :bigroll:

Be sure to get your redwall tires with those

 

Luna, Thanks for the info. :thumbsup:

Monrovia is closest for me, but I would still be interested in what the Newbury Park guy is all about.

Spoke with the gentlemen in Newbury Park earlier. His name is Al at Wheel Concepts ((805) 376-2113). Was an absolute great guy to talk to and seems to offer just awesome customer service (more on that in a subsequent thread). If I understood correctly, he knows Eric Vaughn personally and had high praise for him. However, it also seems like Eric isn't even in this guy's "league" in terms of what he can do with wheels and such (and that's saying a lot based on my understanding). This was merely my impression, which is worth next to nada, but he blew me away.

It appears, at the moment, I'll be going with Wheel Concepts to do my work, but I also don't think you can go wrong with Eric either. However, I'd defintely check out Wheel Concepts as well to help make an informed decision.

 

I'm in on the wheels...think he needs one more person to get the order...come on guys!

 

Not sure if he has included me yet but I will be calling in and ordering them tomorrow morning.

I haven't placed the order yet because I think I will be ordering the factory wing for the back of the V at the same time. I have been trying to see if I can get it in the Thunder Gray, not a show stopper but it may delay me a bit if I need to get it painted. (A group buy may push me over the top though!)

 

This car is like an addiction and Luke is making sure I have a steady supply to feed it...

Wheels and Wing on order. If it's going to go fast it needs look fast right? I don't care I like the way the wing and Wheels look and can't wait to see them on the V!

Luke has been great to work with and look forward to working with him in the future.

One more order required to meet the Qty 4 minimum....

 

If it's going to go fast it needs look fast right?

It already does...

 

I agree it looks sharp and I really like the stance of the car in stock form, that's why I bought it. I just saw the wing on the back of some of the V's on the forum and I personally liked the look.

The spoiler I got follows the sharp lines of the V well in my opinion but it is just that, my opinion.

I agree, it is a badass looking car and I am proud to own one!

If you think I'm destroying the look of the car im sorry but I really do like the look of the factory sport package wing.

 

I'm kinda on the fence right now about the sport wing. I was thinking about adding one, but I thought it might change the sharp lines of the car. I just can't decide whether to pull the trigger or not.

Does anyone know if you can buy it already painted and ready to go?
