You didn't say which wheels you now have on, and your pictures are not current. I had wagon wheels on my 1998 Coupe, switched to stock high polish thin spokes, totally happy.

I would stay with a shiney silver wheel.

Hi JJ,
Your car is very sharp just the way it is. I can understand the want or need for some wheel candy so to speak.
If I remember correctly, JW motoring has deepdish Z06 style wheels at a fair price. Wheel size might be a different story though. Just something to think about.

You asked for opinions so here goes. I like chrome. It goes with anything. The black ones.....not so much.

CCW makes some excellent wheels - and lots of choices too. Check out TSW, Cray and Ruff wheels also.

I would lower it on the stock bolts and tint the windows. Most wheels will look great on it....just how deep are your pockets! CCW, HRE, Fikse, IForged....all winners! More budget friendly...C5 Y2k polished or chrome, C5Z06 rims....reg or motorsport, C6Z06 rims.....may combinations will look good. You can find some great deals here in C5 parts for sale. Good luck!

Sharp vette btw!

I have the thin spokes on mine and I'm thinking about powder coating them gloss white next time I need tires.

I have chrome thin spokes on mine. I keep looking at other wheels, but can't seem to find anything I like better than the ones I have.

Now I see why you didn't post your pictures. You like to post pictures of your DIRTY Corvette, most here would consider that sacrelidge (sp?). An example is below:
