AE Vert with Chrome C6 Z06

Has anyone put the C6 Z06 wheels on their AE coupe or 'vert? If you can post of picture or 2 of them with that would be great. The wheels look good on the black and blue cars.

I am looking at the 18 x 8.5 and 19 x 10 sizes with the Firehawk Wide Oval RFTs in 245/40 and 285/35.

Don't have any pics, but IMO, those wheels would look very good on an AE car.

I realize that the picture below is not what you asked for, but I thought I would give you another option. These are CCW 505 with 18 upfron and 19 in back.

Thanks for the picture deemer. What widths are you running? I do like the look with the bright wheels.

Keep in mind that they are chrome. Front is P245/40ZR18; Rear is P285/35ZR19 and they are run flats.

Good luck with your choose. Her is another view.

What is your wheel width? Which tire setup did you go with, Goodyear C6 or the Firestones? How do they compare to the original Goodyears that came on our cars?
Thanks.

Thanks.

All I can tell you is that when I ordered the tires, I told the vendor that I wanted the standard size tires that came on a 2005 C6 which happen to be 18 up front campared to 17 on our C5 and 19 rear compared to 18 on our C5 and they are Goodyear tires. Wish I could help you more but I'm not that up on tires/wheel sizes.
