Traded my 370z for a New 2011 Corvette Grand Sport

My dad showed me that, Import. He has a C6 and was just like "See, look, everyone wants those wheels!"

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or baffled, haha.

It's a good looking rim, but I am disappointed in GM for not being more innovative. Then, I could say the same thing about Nissan's GTR regarding engine technology.

In the end, getting rid of all the brand bias, I think it's a good looking rim and people who like it will probably upgrade to it. If I had a Grand Sport and wanted to stick with a GS specific rim, I prefer it over the OEM GS rims which are styled more like the NISMO, but without the intricacy.

I think it looks great. Honestly, if the chance came, I'd probably trade for a Grand Sport.

They can be had in the mid 40's brand new.

Saw a Grand Sport convertible on the way to work today... that is a hot looking car. I think if I was buying a Corvette right now that would be it.

All the suspension/brake goodies of the Z06 without the crazy price tag and short only ~70 horsepower? I'll take it. Its about the only car I want other than my Z right now.
