Man do I second that! I think its impossible due to the design though. I dunno we'll see, hopefully a manufacturer will see this.

I like the C5 Z06 wheels but really like the C6 Z wheels. I have seen some that have been powder coated and left the outer edges of the spokes machined that are sweet.

If wishes came true, I'd like mine to look like this,

and run like this,
but I'd be happy with the Z wheels too!
Happy holidays to all! (already)

I'm wondering if Foose would make them. If so, I'll bet there a arm & a leg.

These aftermarket Z06 rims are made for a C3 but took a 1/16" shim for this '68 you need to reroute the e-brake cable mount to clear the rear wheel.

That's what Dan told me, it's his car. You can call him at Vetteworks to find out who makes them etc.
