I'd like to but some Chrome rims this fall. I wan't to stay with a corvette rim and I'd like your opinions.

Which would you choose?

1. Chrome C5 5 Spoke.
2. Chrome C5 Z06
3. Chrome C6 5 Spoke.
4. Chrome C6 Z06.


I like them all and can't decide.

Black C6 Z06 wheels would look the best but since you dont have that option, the chrome C6 Z06.

I got rid of my wagon wheels and went with the Y2K thin spokes. Glad that I did.

Todd, they are 19x11 on the rear and 18x9.5 on the front. The package came from East Coast Corvettes and I had them put on KDW IIs in 295-35-19 and 275-35-18. They also came with Chrome sensor nuts and lugs along with new sensors.

19X11/18X9.5 chrome C5 ZO6 wheel look fantastic on a C5! I'm surprised at the fact that so many C5 owners are comfortable with non-correct C6 wheels. Don't get me wrong, C6 ZO6 wheels are beautiful, but it does seem slightly odd when C5 and C6 owners don't seem to generally share much common ground.

Don't mean to sound insulting, but putting C6 wheels on a C5 seems a little "rice" to me.
