You'll get a wide range of responses to this one due to differences in taste. And that's a good thing, too. Any idea how much you're looking to spend?

I have a black 02 Coupe and I have been considering having my polished thin spokes powder coated black. I love the blacked out look.

PM 94Brick. He has a set of brand new wheels that I believe he wants to sell.

You might want to check out the latest post from Nate at Corvette garage. He has some new rims in a gunmetal gray with a polished lip.
Very affordable and nice looking!

So many choices and price ranges. For a top quality wheel, look at the CCW 505s. For less expensive, try the aftermarket C6 Z06 wheels.

I myself likes a bit of bling, I think the C6 5 spokes chrome would look great on a lowered black C5. Everyone has Z06 wheels, Dare to be different..
Bottom line, get what you like.

Got mine from Corvette Garage. Wheels, tires, sensors. Came ready to take out of the box and stick on the car. These are the Z07 wheels w/Pilot Sports.

Great deal, great people to deal with.
