HELP with wheelc choice.....!??!?!?
Everyone help.... i have been jumping back and forth with rim choices wanting this one and then that one..... 
I really want it to look nice and buy once... my top choice right now are the CCW classics, black center polished lip and my 2nd choice because of price is to either get a 18x12 Z06 wheel and paint them all black on all 4 corners. i have and EB Z06 and really want the car to look good. i really like the black and ploished lip look. any pics or suggestions would help... I have done searchers far and wide but still hit a wall.

Decisions, decisions. Life is tough. Perhaps, that is why McDonalds has been so successful. They put everything on your burger. No need for a decision.
By the way, I am not a McDonalds fan.

I'd go with the Classics. I have them and they are a great addition. I would see if they would powdercoat the centers for you. The black centers get a dull chalky look after a while. I have the full polished wheels. I am constantly getting compliments from people about how nice they look. One advantage of Classics over many others is that they are 3 piece wheels. I just recently got forced into a huge pothole when a big truck cut me off. It bent the outer rim. I was able to replace just the damage rim section myself and not have to junk a whole wheel. It was actually easy to repair the wheel myself.

I am in the same situation. I wanted to keep my factory wheels for track. I am really interested in getting the C6 Z06 Factory wheels because I think they will be the best in weight class.
Would the standard C6 Z06 will fit C5 Z06? Is there any offset difference?

I've had the classics in black, and like Striper says, they soon faded/discolored, and in time will start peeling. (anodized) I think CCW no longer powdercoats, either because of problems of the paint adhering. Talk to John@ CCW and see how they could eliminate these finish problems before you plunk down your $$, IMHO.
