Default Show Me Your Wheels!!!!

I want to buy a new set of wheels for the Vette, I just want to get some ideas. Most of the websites I have been to SUCK!!! I love my polished Y2K's but want a change every now and then ....

Z06 and C6 wheels I see enough of . I am leaning toward HRE,PIAA,or CCW's

If you want to stick with Vette rims that you rarely see, then get the magnesiums. Depending on your car color, they look really good...but are VERY expensive.

Since most people got rid of their wagon wheels, they'd be pretty unique

I'll show you my wheels as your title requested, but if you are looking to buy a set, I doubt you'll find them available anywhere on the planet. Of course I might sell mine, for a Meeelion Dollars haahahahahaa .

I just bought these and put new rubber on with new sensors the works and now I sort of think I wouldn't mind trading them in for a set of BLACK ZO6 MOTORSPORTS.

I do like them, but I am seriously thinkin gabout inquiring with the FORUM on finding someone who might want to trade. They dont even have a 1,000 miles on them.

These are the 18x12 (rear) and the 17x 9.5 (front).
