A new set of wheels can make a huge difference in the looks of the car. Post up some pics when you get them installed.

Default same here

I have the OECs on mine. Previously, I had the Factory Reproduction wheels with socket head screws (looked great) But I didn't like cleaning those. Sold them and bought the OEC chrome Z06 style without the screw heads. Got them in the standard widths to simplify tire purchases. Not all brands of standard width runflats fit on the Z06 width wheels.

I bought a set of Z06 Alcoa forged wheels. They were painted black and I had a shop refinish them - polished spoke face and lip with silver paint, all double clearcoated, wrapped in Toyo T1R 265/40 17 and 295/35 18. With Z06 sways it feels like a different car. Thankyou Panther Wheel for a great job.
