Default Deep Lip C6 Wheels?

Does anyone know if there's any deep lip factory-looking C6 wheels out there? I love the look of the stock wheels but I would love them even more if they had that deep lip in the rears.

The C6 motorsport wheels have a lip, but its small, like 1-1.5" or so.

Yeah, I see what you mean but the spokes are still pretty much flush with the face of the wheel.

Look at CCW, HRE, Fikse ... the 3PC wheel vendors should be able to do what you want.

The wheel offset for the C6 does not accomodate this design very well.

Check out WCC's newest forged wheel....4" lip in the rear, and it's not for a Z06.

For what it is worth, when I was working with John at CCW to select my wheels and tires, he told me the (non-Z06) C6 gets a 2" lip with a SP500.

The C5 can just fit a 3" lip because it has a tiny bit more "hip room" (as I call it).
