Default New Wheel Responses.....
Man I normally get 1 or 2 every week from random people when they see my car.....

But I put some CCW 505a's on it and I literally have someone staring at the car at like every stoplight it seems. I have always said rims are the single biggest visual impact you can make...but DAMMMM. I like the wheels , it seems like everyone else is more impressed then me ?

Love the wheels! Props to a fellow San Jose resident! That looks like the Cambrian Plaza in the background.

Wheels make or break a car's look. 505's are my all time favorite. Props to you, my fellow Norcal Z brother.

Awesome. Those are my favorite as well (if I had the money to burn). Other than the factory wheels, I would not consider any other

Love the wheels and the choice in car color. I too have a silver Z06 and I'm patiently waiting my new wheels. It's been 4 weeks already and I'm pacing the floor

Thanks everyone...I had Cray Scorpions on order but pulled the triiger on these. I really like the 500's as well or if money was no object I would have went with the I-forged Aeros with Black centers

Awesome!! I just put a set of 505's on my Silver Z too!! I have to agree, I've had a TON of compliments on the wheels.

Not to change the subject, but I really like the stripes on your car - Could you either post a few more shots, or email me at JB666@comcast.net ?? Thank you!!!

That pic isn't making my wheel decision any easier.
505's or 500's?
500's or 505's?
