Black wheels look great on red cars too....Might want to check out IForged or HRE.



IForged Classics in Black



Same wheels on a red Z06, titanium finish (I think?)

What price range are you looking at.... that will help narrow the choices.

Money no object. CCW SP500's!

Scott:

If you're running the original wagon wheels, you can save a ton of money by dressing them up with decals. Decals are made from the finest 9 year vinyl available. They are matte black in color and 2 mils thick. They are so thin, they appear to be painted.

Everyone is going to tell you something different.....tell us your budget, and your needs.
  1. Are you planning on new tires, too?
  2. Do you drive this car year 'round in bad weather?
  3. Do you participate in HPDE?
  4. Do you want to retain some kind of runflat?

Such an open ended question won't benefit you much at all - be more specific.

Check out House of Wheels. Bob will treat you right. I bought my Z06 chromies from him several years ago and have had no problems.

CCW 505's, Ronals like above, C6 Z06's all look good on red. You have a lot of choices you can make and a lot depends on just how much you are wanting to spend on the wheels.

Default What is the name of featured wheels?

I love the way your car looks? What is the name of the wheel and also tire size. I want the exact same setup. They look like the EXT wheels from WCC, but I'm not sure.
