Default Need pics please

Hi -

Trying to decide what wheels I want to put on. I had decided on chrome z06 wheels, now.. I'm liking the chrome 2000 wheels And to make matters worse, I seen a pic of polished magnesium wheels. I didn't know this could be done - but it looks really good.

So, anybody with pics on a navy blue metallic? Thanks so much

I like the Chrome Zo6 Motorsport wheels. If you get them in 18s and 19s it will look sweet. The only problem is that they don't have a lip like the stock zo6 wheels do.

I had the chrome Z06 wheels on my car - liked the look but now I'm ready for something different. They do look good on just about any car though.

CCW Sp16A to help make your decision more difficult than it already is I kept my stock 5 spoke aluminum wheels, I still like them, just fell in love with the CCW's though when I saw them.

VG, if you're planning on upping the HP more, I'd go with the Z06 rims as they are an inch wider.........otherwise, nothing beats the chromed 2000+ rims.

Was at a rally this past saturday, CRAGERS. Talk about a classic looks on a cool car. Didn't know you could still get them, never mine ones that fit. Chrome something is hot though.
