Default Who has aftermarket Wheels? Lets see em....

With all the picture threads we need one to show off the aftermarket wheels. Post your pics and wheel specs.

I am going to go with a black wheel with polished lip on my Black C6 once I actually have it.

Here is an example of what not to buy! It's called the "Cheese Grater"

I am struggling with this as we speak. I got the standard wheels with the intention of getting aftermarket wheels. I just can't find a set I like. I have Fikse FM 10's on the C5 and really like them. but want something different on the C6. I really want a deep dish look. Nothing, and I mean nothing is jumping out that says "BUY ME" The bux are burning a hole in my C6 pocket

I want the same deep dish look....have you looked at Iforged? They have some nice designs with a reasonable deep dish.

Anyone have photochoped pictures of a Silver C6 convertible with Z06 look-alike wheels?
In different colors?
I think these would look great.
Thanks!

I have, but am not a fan of the screws/riveted look. Part of the struggle

I liked the new Z06 wheels as seen in last month's Motor Trend. I don't know if that is actually what the wheels will look like. It may be that they assumed that the wheels would be the same as the 04 Z06. I haven't followed the Z06 so I may be way off base, but the wheels caught my attention as very nice, and different enough to catch attention without going too far.

These wheels on CF member AA2PR's car are awsome. One of the nicest sets of aftermarket wheels I've seen so far.



Nice job AA2PR.

I love the stock C6 wheels, polished...or chromed. Anything else just doesn't look right.

A set of these:



Or these:



Would look killer on the new C6's.

The top one is a 2 piece and the bottom can be had in 2 or 3 piece. I'll be adding one of them to my T/A soon.

I run Profil 10s on the racecar...I must say the FM10s seem like a perfect wheel for the C6...a car with a more european look...
