Personally I like the Black motorsport wheels on vettes period. The chrome ones look goods too. But I have heard of a few having problems with the chrome flaking off.
If you do decide to go with either wheels Ilisted, Tom Z is the man to buy from.
I got my Black Motorsport wheels shipped to my door for $500

I agree - get what you really want. Don't buy a set of wheels and then regret it. If you like the CCWs, save up and get a set. They are awesome wheels. Nothing wrong with the C6 Motorsports though.

Go with the BBS LM's, a member has been trying to sell for $1500.... They were one of the first aftermarket wheels made for the C5 and it's a classic look.....
I paid $3K for these brand new....
Good Luck...

why spend spend $1500 on wheels/tires when you'll still be wanting another set only you've got that much less money saved up.

Be very careful of cheap wheels.... they weigh a TON ! You will feel a performance drop in your car. I sure did ! I sold my aftermarket wheels after only 1 week. I just could not get over how much performance I lost going to aftermarket cheap wheels.
I decided to have my Z06 wheels painted/clear coated the color I wanted. My car felt quicker and more nimble again
All for only $400 tax included. I like the look.

I got he Zo7 wheels in the GP. Great wheels for $1,000 and look really good. Not too heavy, I think the weights are now posted in the GP thread. However, I spent $1,640 (Ps2's 275/35/18 and 305/30/19)for new rubber and $100 for mounting. So wheel costs should not be the only concern. BTW, these wheels are perfect offset for the C5, great fitment. Wider tires/wheels look great and perform well also.

I use to always make the mistake you are about to make, buying wheels that i thought were okay because i couldnt afford or want to save up for the wheels i truly wanted. Everytime I bought them I would be happy at first but then a month or 2 later i would already be looking at a different set of wheels and want to change them once again. That finally changed a few months ago when I said F it, and pulled the trigger on a set of used Iforged wheels. I havent looked back ever since and the thought of changing rims never crosses my mind.
