Default Black Coupe - Needs Wheels!

So Ive been on this board for a little while now, reading all of the post and looking at all the pictures and I think the mod bug is starting to bite. Im going to need tires for my car very shortly and I would like to go with a new set of wheels as well. If someone could post pics of the c6 z06 wheels in chrome, c6 z06 wheels in black, and c5 wheels in black...it would really help with my decision making. I will also be lowering the car, and adding a corsa pace car exhaust...and one more question is it suppose to hurt your wallet when the bug bites?

Mods can get expensive - the Vette tax is alive and well. But, once started, it's hard to stop modding the car.

IMO, chrome or high polished wheels are awesome on a black car.

Here are the Z07s sold at CorvetteGarage...in my opinion, they look much better on C5s than the C6 Z06 wheels, mainly due to the center cap design. These are 18x9.5 and 19x11s...they were awesome wheels. There is a sponser having a Group Purchase on these wheels currently!





Here is the link to my site with alot more pics:

Sorry I don't have any pics to show you. But I've seen a couple of C5 Coupes with 18" Front & 19" Rear C6 Z06 wheels & the gap In the wheel well was eliminated completely. I asked them If they lowered their Vettes and they both said no It was the wheels that make It look lowered. They look amazing on the C5, they really do. Best of luck
