Do you know how big the lips are, both front and rear? They don't look as big as I had imagined.

I did put new tires on them at the same time, but the ride could not be any nicer.....
These look great!

Any chrome warranty?

C5 Z06 with stock Z06 wheels did not have TPS in them.
Z06 came with a OEM flat kit.

Default Maybe selling

My tires and wheels are 2 weeks old and I am concidering selling them. Although I really like the wheels, and the quality is great, Im not sure they look right on a Z06. I do have more pictures.
Fronts are 275/40/17 Kumho's
Rears are 295/35/18 Kumho's
I will decide by tomorrow for sure and post on here if I am going to put them on the classified ads.

Default Wheels

I am in contact with iForge now looking into building a set of wheels for the Z06. I will post mine in the Sell section in a few days, and the price is going to be $1575 for the set, they have about 200 miles on them.
The complete set after shipping, mount, balance, chrome valve stems was I think $1945 I will check for sure.

IFORGED huh? Have you done a search about this wheel company lately?

Also, these wheels look sharp to me... I know that doesn't matter but they are like better looking ccw sp500's. Good luck.

I have listed the wheels and tires in the classified section if anyone is interested. This is a nice setup for not alot of money.
Thanks Tbrent for the complement.

That question I could not answer, the Z06 does not have tire sensors.

These wheels and tires are for sale with only a few hundred miles on them. Very nice for the money. I have pictures if anyone is interested. I need to move them.
I have today ordered a set of CCW 505a's with bigger (wider) tires.
