Are those real C6Z wheels or repros? If the former, where did you pick them up? I think those would look sweet on the Electron Blue beast also.

Thanks guys! These are just the repros with the stock Z size and offsets. I'll be saving for some CCW 500s or 505s.

OP's is an '01, therefore QS.

I am no painter; but, I have been told they are the same color... that QS has larger metallic flakes which make it look a little brighter.

I'm a big fan of the Classics but man I think you found a keeper set of wheels. Those look awesome! Better IMHO than the Classics.

I have some of these on my car. They were already on it when I bought it. They look ok IMO from the side, but not so good from the front or back. The grey color also just looks diry some times. Anybody want to trade their stockers with me?



Not the best picture, sorry.

Thanks!

Figured I'd post the pic here too.



18x9.5 front 19x11 rear, dropped on stock bolts

The tires just barely scrubbed on the rear brake ducts so I pulled them off. Other than that, no issues.

They look awesome on your QS too!
