Default New z51 stingray wheels.

Put on new wheels today. Black z51 wheels off a 14 stingray. 19-20s. I really love the wheels sorry for bad pics weather kinda sucked today.

I like the wheel but in the pics it appears they are sticking out pretty far. Are they?

Coming into this thread I didn't think I'd like the way they look but actually I do. Curious also on how far they stick out?

Yeah, we need a front shot to see if they stick out-otherwise I think they look nice.

They don't stick out had to use 1 inch spacers in rear. Just the angle of the pic throwing it off.

The wheels look good. I'd consider a set like that when they come out as a reproduction wheel.

Thanks guys worked all day so wasn't able to get a good front on pic I'll get one tomorrow morning got quite a few compliments thou today on the wheels. I wasn't sure about the black but looks good against the color. Also got such a insane deal on wheels I couldn't say no.

I didn't think they would look good but man im shocked. They look killer on your car. Any plans on lowering it? I think lowered with those wheels would just look mean!!

Not a fan of the black, but great news that they will work on our C5s and not stick out past the wheel wells.

Thanks for sharing!

How tall is the rear tire? Is it shorter than a C5's, or is it the ride height that is playing with my eyes?
