Default Black z06s post pics w/ your rims

I'm looking for a decently cheap rim for my new black Z. Not ccws or hres. I'm looking for chrome c5 Z wheels, deep dish
Chrome z06 and some others.

This is the most recent I have. These are affordable (cheap $660) C6Z replicas in Chrome.

Sizes are 18x9 (265/35R18) front, 19x11 (305/30R19) rear. They are C6 non-Z06 offset, so they sit pretty much flush with the fenders. This does spray a little road grime on the bottom half of the rear bumper, but it looks excellent. I do not have any detailed pics, but they are simply C6Z knock-offs in chrome with the C6Z center caps.

Also, I have the Eradaspeed +2 rotors on the car now, and they fit perfectly. There are absolutely no clearance issues and everything looks very clean. No spacers, BTW.

^^Your care looks very nice...like the brakes too. He is looking for something besides CCW's because of the cost I'm guessing. I just bought some powdercoated black C6Z06 rims in C5Z offset from House of Wheels (forum vendor). I got 18X9.5 front and 18X12 rear. They were right around $800 plus shipping. They also have chrome and I think competition gray.

Thanks for the compliments!

I personally like the look of the stock C5 Z06 wheels powdercoated black, makes any car look real "mean"!

The C6Z wheels look great too!

What hood do you have on your Z? I am looking into KB (love the sound and instant torque) and am slightly worried about hood standing out from the stock lines.

MCM! I don't think it'll clear the KB blower, however, they do make a supercharger hood so maybe somone knows if that will clear??

I'm a real pic "*****"!!

Thanks for the added pics. Aftermarket hoods look pretty slick on Black Z's.

BTW, nice brakes. Almost went C6Z kit, but ended up with Earadispeed+ series instead.

Awesome! Sorry for asking so many questions but do you know how he painted them? And how do they hold up to rock chips and such from driving? Thats my main concern...
