I really like those wheels! Who is the mfg and what style are they? I see you have underbody mouldings did that come with the spoiler as a kit? It looks great! Can't tell if they are black or what though. I plan on doing about the same thing but going a dark gun metal grey on the wheels and body mouldings.
My 02Z wants to grow up and look like yours!

I've been on the fence about the ZR1 replicas, but I can't decide what size. Those are exactly what I'm looking for. Any chance you know the side of the wheels and tires off the top of your head?

Yep their big nasties as I call them ,
Rear 325-30-19 x 12
Front 275-35-19 x 10

Beware man , at times when I look at the car and its stance I wonder if the wheels and tires are to much, cause they look so beefy ,I thought with a larger rear tire it would help hold the car straight from a dead start, well so much for theory ..that didnt help ...I guess what im saying is shop for what you want don't buy cause it looks good another car , do your homework it's a big investment not to nail it the first time

I've been looking for a while, and I was really waiting to see one that jumped out at me. It was the tire size that was throwing me...But I think you nailed it. That thing looks fantastic. Thats the looking I'm looking for.

Any rubbing issues with that setup. Any rubbing on the front when at full turn lock? Car look good!

Can't find the wheel like yours in their ZR1 section in the C5 wheels. If you can find them, maybe show the direct link (?). I like those black wheels on your car too ... would look good on my Electron Blue Zee.

Cause they are not ZR1, they are C6Z wheels...Spyders.

OP said the sizes he has are:
Rear 325-30-19 x 12
Front 275-35-19 x 10

That link of the Spyder wheel has no such sizes listed (19 x 12" wide and 19 x 10" wide) in the C5 catalog. Maybe he has wheels that were meant to fit the C6Z?

Update: Just looked ... yep, those are C6Z wheels. Surprised they fit on a C5Z without rubbing issues.
