You should resize your photo...it's a bit big. I try to keep all of my photos at 640 pixels wide so everyone can see them easily.

Here you go...those C6 rims just look GREAT on verts

Those are the wheels I want, I'm a newbie, so are they off of a c-6? Or is that just what they are called? I have an 85 Z-51 Should I just by an aftermarket lookalike? So many questions ..........

They are not off a C6. C6's have different size wheels , 18 & 19".
Yours a probably 17".

They are the standard type wheels that come stock with all C6s, accept Z06s. They come stock, painted, polished & chromed.

I don't know where they sell the 17" chromes.

Default offsets

I have the exact car with beige interior.Your car looks fantastic.Did you have to use spacers or was it the correct offset.I even have your cooper tires.You purchased yours Tire Rack-is that correct?
