Rims
Hey, just got my first Corvette and want to make it look all coordinated with some new rims--it's a black 2003, and I want to get some entirely black C5 ZO6 rims (also called wagon wheels? I think?). I don't know if they've ever made them, but if they have I haven't been able to find them. I have a line on some used rims of this type, but they have a maroon band around them, and the paint is chipping. Should I buy them and get them powdercoated black? Painted black? Or is there someplace I can get actual rims like this that were painted/powdercoated/colored black when first made?
Thanks guys!

Thats a good deal and they will fit your car. I have C6 OEM's on mine as do some others on the forum.

Yeah, I know it's a good deal, and how hard it is to find wheels that fit, and I really would take them if they were C5s. I just...I dunno. Like the C5 design, I guess.
