Chrome C6 Z06 Wheels from COH
Hi Everybody, My wife gave me some chrome C6 Z06 wheels for my C5 (she's great! 
).
They came from Corvette's of Houston, and I was wondering if any of you have these and if so how are they. I would also like to know if there anyhting that I need to be mindfull of for the install?
Thanks and Happy Hollidays

First I would replace your TPS they're getting close to the end of their life span. I would look for a tire shop that has a Hunter 3500 Touchless tire machine. Good balance job and you're ready to go.

Paint the calipers while the wheels are off. Also, double check that they install the TPS O rings. They missed two of mine and did not find out until I was home (about 90 miles away). Caused a bit of a hassle the next day.

Great looking wheels. I'd like to get them for mine someday. I wish the C5 center caps fit though. I'm not too crazy about the C6 logo.

Those wheels do look good on the C5. Good luck with the install.

Got mine from Bob's, but I believe it's the same manufacturer. Nice looking wheels. Zuti

Thanks for the great info everyone. There was more involved than I realized. So far I have ordered new tire pressure sensors, I am looking for chrome TPS nuts and the O-ring kit. Hopefully I will have these installed within the next couple of weeks.
Thanks again for all of the great pics and info!
