Default C5 Z06 Chrome wheels

I'm looking to put chrome C5 Z06 wheels on my 2001 black Z06.

Does anyone have any good pictures of a black Z06 with chrome wheels?

Thanks for your help.

Or if you are thrifty, sell your stockers and buy a new set from Bobs house of wheels for $1000 (chromed OEM's) with a 3 year warranty on the chrome.

Ghetto Bling thing? Making the car feel worse? No traction?
Are you serious?Or simply talking out of your ***?

Firstly my NY friend,, nothing Ghetto about me or my car.. Car drives Great, plenty of traction... I guess all of the 19/20 in CCW's,HRE's are ghetto too... Come on guy... If you were not so far away, i would wear your *** out @ the track, or on the oval... with my blingy wheels...

Back to the OP...

Once again, if you ar referring to my car.. i rarely if ever have to clean my front rims.. they are no different from the rear in terms of brake dust..

To the OP... pay no attention to the BS these guy's are shoveling. It's YOUR car, do what you like.

I'm serious. Do you know how much more those wheels weigh than my chromed OEM's? I felt the difference first hand on what bigger heavier wheels can do. Trust me you clearly feel the difference. And yes you certainly won't get as good of traction with that setup as my 18's w/305 DR's. As far as CCW's & HRE's in 19/20, although they still weigh more than OEM's and also compromise traction, there's a big difference between those and your +2 repro's in terms of the "ghetto" factor. Not that your wheels are THAT bad...no where near the crap I see on some other cars and SUV's, but I felt the need to respond after your coming in all cocky and saying "this is how they are SUPPOSED to look" after me and another guy posted OEM's. (Not sure if his are OEM's but they are at least OEM sizes). In terms of looks alone I just think the 19/20 is a bit too much in that particular wheel...maybe an 18/19 would be cool. It's really a matter of personal choice. Apparently you think these cars are supposed to have yout 19/20's and not what me and the other guys posted. So I'm simply giving my opinion back which is your 19/20's look a little ghetto and compromise the pure performance nature and feel of the car.

Hmm, you have a bone stock Z06 with big heavy wheels and rubber band tires....I have a 430rwhp H/C Z06 with lightweight OEM's and R compound tires. Oh yeah, you'd wear my *** out alright.
