Wheels arrived this morning and they are mighty "purty".

Went to and talked to two different dealerships. One sponsors the local Corvette Club and the other has serviced my other Chevy for years. Found an unusual disparity in the quoted prices ($350 for one and $220 for the other) Made sure to explain myself fully and to compare apples to apples. I really don't understand the vast difference but it did help me make up my mind.

The TMPS units I choose to order are made by Orange Electronics out of Washington and I am impressed with the specs and the reviews. I believe the interface is still not an issue (damn I hope not).

Once I receive the TPMS units I'll set up an appointment for install.

Of interest, I was asked to name a price to sell my factory Z06 wheels to the vette tech at one of the dealers. Thought a hundred bucks to a hundred fifty apiece would be a give away but that's what I'm thinking. What do you guys think?
