    Google may be, but experience tells me that’s ‘fake news’ ;) once the sealant wears off, that’s it. They suck air back in around the threads. You must keep reapplying Teflon sealant. No biggie, but that’s fact

    Black Wheels on C6

    well, i kinda like my OEM 18/19" Speedlines in chrome, but was actually considering a set of Cup wheels in 19/20...for street. But, I really like the look of the original wheels after all, with a thin 6mm spacer under them. Tires are OE sized Firestone Indy 500 For track use however, I picked...
