Default C4 with C6 Chrome wheels?

Anyone done this wheel upgrade yet?
Interested in the C6 stock, and/or the Z06.

Anyone have any pics?

I looked into this before, but the stock c6 wheels have weird backspacing and its a 19 in rim in the back w/a 18 in rim up front.

There are already aftermarket reproductions that fit the c4 better.

Check here:

That is one upgrade I have planned. Love the chrome C6's or the C6 motorsport rims, like the black ones.

I'ld love to see the black motorsport C6 rims on a C4. I think they're a very attractive wheel, and I've seen them on a few C5s and IMO they're quite good looking. Any C4's out there with them? Or maybe one of our photoshop gurus can make it happen!

Thanks!

Am I the only one who thinks the black motorsport rims look terrible?

The black paint gives way too much contrast, and the fake rivets are an eye sore, IMO. I've seen volkswagen hub caps that look better than those.

Other than that I love em.

I'm still old school about some things. I like a little dish to rims. No dish reminds me of early rice burners. I've had wheels with rivits. PITA to keep clean. Never been fond of total black out look. Belongs on total race cars and rat rods. JMO

That's why I went with "Baby Moons"

I'm selling a complete set of 4 C6 rims for my buddy. He traded his car in with the aftermarket z06 wheels so he has the OEM 5 spoke silver finish. Rims only! See the c6 parts for sale section.

I have an 87 white with red interior. To me, chrome is the only way to go on this car. It's on my list.

I'll show my age here. I think all of the black wheels just don't do the C4 justice. To me they look dirty. I like chrome. I'm easily distracted by shiny obj...

What was that?!

I'm with you Dale - no thanks on any black rims, they just look like crap as far as I'm concerned.

here's a pic before I finished painting the rear calipers, 18 x 9.5 all around so I can rotate tires.
