Pewter vette pics wanted
I want to replace my wagon wheels on my 99 Pewter vert. Only 9,000 miles so want to stick with my stock tires. Thinking about magnesium as first choice or maybe z06 chrome wheels. The new 2005 z06 wheels look nice also. I would like pics and or comments.
Thanks in advance,
Terry

I can all ready see this is gioing to be a tough decison, anything beats the stock wagonwheels but that magnesium seems to match the Pewter real well. The z06 wheels really have that blink thing.

I've got the chrome Z06's on mine. Love the look. The C6 Z06 wheels would look great too. Here's mine in my sig.

18" all around Y2K chrome first (no pic), then 18" all around chrome Z06 wheels, and then CCW's, and now HRE's 
.... on the jacks.
If money is tight, I would go with Z06 wheels all the way instead of C6 wheels and go with 18x12 for the rears with 335/30/18
Just my $0.02.
