? ZO6 wheels for (non-ZO6) C5
I am considering Z06 wheels for my 99 convert. I am going to use a replica wheel because I want to use my origianl tires and wheel sensors.
Do all ZO6 replicas accept the sensors? Someone once mentioned that the stock wheels wouldn't accept the sensors. I am wondering if replicas are the same.
What is the correct size and backspacing for the rear?
Are there any significant differences between different brands of replicas?

I am looking to do the same, I think that the only difference between OEM and replica is that the replica wheels are heavier and are cast as opposed to forged, forged being a stronger wheel. Both wheels sould accept the tire sensor.

I have a '98 coupe and installed OEM 2002 Z06 wheels. My sensors not only fit on the new rims, but they also work.
Not sure about the repo's though.

Re: ? ZO6 wheels for (ICULUKN-C5)
The stock wheel sensors will work fine on repo Z06 wheels. I just had it done. Chrome repo Z06 wheels courtesy Corvette's of Houston, swapped out courtesy local Goodyear shop. They inadvertently mixed the two front sensors though (Left on the right and right on the left). Gotta reprogram them now. :mad . Oh well.
