Corvette C6 Z06 Wheels
Forget Corvette Garage with the "Z07" wheels. The Z07 wheels(slicks) were a halfway decent attempt to get a heads up on the new C6 Z06 wheels that were coming out later. These C6 Z06 wheels are now available at many different sites at upwards of $1300/set in the C5 size. However, if you go to www.tomzwheels.com, you can get a CHROME set of C6 Z06 wheels in the C5 size for under $700.00.
I bought mine there and they are absolutely gorgeous. They are the BEST looking wheels I have ever owned. Good Luck!!!!!!

Why would you want 4 17x8.5 wheels from TomZ for $700? Those are far from C6 Z06 wheels.... I see Tom Z has the 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 for $949 on Ebay but not on his site.
I personally at least want 17s in front and 18s in back if not 18/19s? Put some real tire out back...

Yeah for your $700 set you can have nice beefy 245/17s in the back of your C5.

what the heck would i do with that?
most other wheels have several different options in sizes at different costs. i could see a set of 4 18's but 17's
has to be an error!!!!

We pulled the 17/18 combo off the website when the 18x9.5 wheels went on backorder. We just got some in but have not had time to post them. If anyone is interested give us a call at 1-866-939-1030.
Inventory on these is up and down since at times demand is higher than supply.
Thanks
Tom
