Default Wheels

I recently purchased a set of OM wheels off of a 2005 C6 and want to install them on my 2003 zo6. Anyone aware of any problems I may face.

Am I the only one who cant stand the look of C6 wheels on C5Z's? Because I see so many guys doing this and I have yet to see one car looking good with them.

For a budget wheel option there are worse things. There are certainly much better options though.

A wheel adapter. Because c6 offsets are different than c5. Amazon, eBay, forum for sale section, vendors

Yours look great actually but not C6 2005 rims though, but pete is pointing towards C6 Reguler 5 spoke rims....i assume and they are.

Details on your rims? OEM C6 newer style, C5 size of C6 style? price?...looks very good and sharp.

You're not alone. I think base C6 wheels are hideous on C5Z's. C6Z style wheels in 18/19 look nice on C5Z's
