I'm thinking about going to the "wide body" Z06 rear on my base C6. I do not like the 10 spoke Z06 rims so am looking for two 19x12 rims with a pattern similar to the standard rims on the base C6 (five spoke). All of the 19x12 rims I've found have been the 10 spoke, Z06 pattern. Any suggestions? Thanks

Forgeline S03ps. As close as I could find for a "stock" looking rim. They handles Michelin PS1 345/30x19s with ease.

Ben, looks like you have two nails sticking in the rear tire
cudadude, you can go into many of the wheel websites and look. Might want to look at LG Motorsports and as mentioned earlier CCW as those wheels are a little more inexpensive compared to some of the others. Just not sure what you are looking at cost wise and some of them get quite pricey. Good luck

Go with 19x13's - you won't regret it. I'm personally a fan of CCW, but wheels are like women, personal taste always rules. If you need some pics, drop me a pm

I like the new LG Motorsports wheels, they can build to fit I believe:

You might check out West Coast Corvettes, they have a lot of different styles including their own designs.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I'm cheap and looking to avoid having to buy four rims - wanted a set 19x12 (or 13) that matched the current five spoke rims on the C6 (I had hoped to be able to leave my front two in place). It looks like I'm not going to be so lucky...

Why don't you just get the back two wheels widened. I've seen others on the forum do it.

At great risk of sounding terribly naive, can that be done (that is, can it be done in a manner that results in no loss of reliability or safety)? If so, any leads on whom to contact?

WCC 941 looks pretty nice. Check out West Coast Corvettes (forum vendor)

IMO CCW makes a quality product and their service is absolutely first rate...I highly recommend them.

In case you weren't aware, you don't have to put Z06 body panels on your C6 to go with 12" rear rims. If you wanted, you could have your rear wheel wells tubbed (just another option to consider).

Good luck.

Thank you all for your information.
danr1707: this is the name of the place I'd been referred to earlier today but the guy gave me the wrong spelling - I had been unable to find it via an internet search but you cleared that up. Thank you very much! I just hope their prices are reasonable...
