Any "Z-07" item advertised for a C5 is nothing but an aftermarket (non GM-Chevy) ploy.

As I said, they are cool looking wheels. But there is noting "Z-07" about them.

LONG LIVE THE WAGON WHEEL!!!!!!


lol j/k

Great looking setup with those new wheels. I'm debating weather or not to actually upgrade to 18/19 or go with 18/18 or stick with 17/18 to safe a tiny bit of cash on tires since i drive my vette so much.

i have 18" Z07s and am considering getting two 19s for the rear.

there is a 10mm difference in offset between yours and mine and yours should be more tucked in to the fender.

Corvette Garage. Ordered the wheel/tire package; wheels, BFG tires, mounted/balanced and new sensors, shipped for about $2800. Pulled them out of the box and put them on the car.
