Here's my C5 Z06 highly polished wheels. Went with 17/9.5 front and 18/10.5 rear. An inch wider than stock, I like the look.

Looks like I will most likely be going with the C6 ZO6 wheels in chrome, as soon as my christmas bonus comes. Thanks, everyone!

These are C6 wheels with C5 offset, but C6 wheels will fit C5's but I think a spacer is needed to make them look good.

Vette&cobra what size are your wheels?

Any body running these on a black coupe? (pics please)
I did see a yellow coupe with them on it with a yellow stripe around the rim looked really great..
