Not the best shot, but it's been raining for a while and I haven't had a chance to get a better pic for ya'.
Silver vette, Silver painted wheels (no, that's not gunmettal... it's just brake dust... I mentioned I need a better pic), and color-matched Breathless non-pops. Overall, I'm very pleased with it, but I may end up adding some black stripes.... I dun'no..

Info on wheel fitting and offsets(?)
Hey guys, I'm admittedly a newbie to this forum, so forgive the length of this post. I just purchased a set of chrome C6 style Z06 wheels for my '98 (sorry, no pics yet, but they are the split spoke style just like a lot of the other pics here). When I bought the wheels, I also got some useful info on wheel fitting.
My new wheels are the stock 17 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 size. They were made by Factory Reproductions. I bought them through a local Discount Tire store. The guy there told me it was important that the wheel offset was between 49 and 65 in order for the wheels to bolt right on a C5. He said there other similar wheels out there that don't fall within that range. Maybe that explains why some people are running into issues.
Anyway, hope this info helps...
