At $11,995 the visible carbon fiber wheels for the C8 Z06 are not exactly cheap. If you want to save two grand you could opt for the painted carbon fiber wheels instead. But you are building a Z06 so you may as well go all out. The carbon wheel set will save over 40 pounds of weight compared to the standard forged aluminum wheels. And of course, they look cool as hell. Just be careful around curbs because you won’t want to scuff these up.
