Default Wheel suggestions for my Z06

Hey Guys. Thinking about doing some aftermarket wheels on the Z06. It is currently on chrome repros but I was thinking of changing it up. Any suggestions/pics you have for me.

Yes, I have searched, was just curious if some people had a certain wheel that just looks SICK on these cars or a favorite or something like that.

Thanks in advance,
Zach

Unfortunately, too many favorites, not enough money!

Most importantly, don't cheap out; get yourself some nice forged wheels. Otherwise, the stock wheels look great.

CCW
DPE
HRE
Boze
iForged

I love brushed or gray centers with polished lips, myself.

What does a set of CCW SP500s go for? 3k?

I understand some of the cheaper wheels may be quite heavy. Could affect the way your car feels.

Specialty applications and finishes may result additional cost.

First - determine how much you want to spend on wheel/tire package. The answer to that will determine what you can or cannot get.

I've been happy with my Fikse FM10's and you don't see them all that often. 18x9.5 & 18x11.5
