Hey Rich,

I have the same issue right now with my Z16. It is currently sitting on a jack stand in the garage until I can hobble around a little better and either get it fixed or replaced.

I too am looking for someone in the area that will understand my pickiness and has a soft touch tire machine. They only made the polished Z06 wheels for the Z16s so there are only a couple thousand of them and I don't want some hack throwing the wheel around like it came off a Camry.

Good luck in your search and when you get a chance we can talk about replacement tires for your vert. I took the runcraps off of our '01 vert and put on Goodyear GS D3s. Much better traction, dry and wet, and much better ride. Since there is no spare I just put a hand compressor in the trunk similar to what comes with the Z06s from the factory.
