I have a dilemma, and who better to ask than the gear heads on this forum?
I need tires. I also have four OEM rims that are scraped up, a bit out of round, and a PITA to clean. (Okay, I'm parking challenge.) So I'm tempted to buy four Z28 repo wheels (rotary forged, meet jwl standards...) to go with those tires. My alternative is to have my OEM wheels restored by a place in Sarasota. It's a bit cheaper to restore the factory wheels. That is, it's cheaper until factoring in the cost of having my car down for a week or two.
What do y'all vote? Fix the factory wheels or go for the repo wheels? Here's a pic of the Z28 repos, and another of the OEM ZL1 wheels.
(We won't factor in that the owner took me to lunch three years ago when I bent the snot out of a rim, haha.)
