Default New wheels are comming

I finally convinced myself to buy a set of C6 Z06 replicas.
Should have them in 2 weeks. 18 x 9.5 and 19 x 11.

Anyone have pictures of these on a blue ragtop? I'd love to see what my car will look like

I don't have any pics for you but congrats on the purchase. I really like those wheels and am considering the same.

No pics, but the wheels look very good on a C5. Saw some at a local car show a few weeks back - very nice.

Congrats and that is a hell of a price. I ordered my set from the wheel gallery for a bit more. Do you know who the maker is? I bought ACE rims. They should be on my door as we speak and the tires show up today as well. If I get everything by 1p-2p I will have them mounted and will post pics.

BTW, do you have a link to House of Wheels? When I did a search I found dozens of different companies operating under that name. Thanks.
