Silver Z06 Wheels Ideas

Hey guys,
Got an 04 z06 and looking at some new wheels. Wondering if anyone had any pics of there z06's in silver either machine or quick silver with different wheels then the stock ones?

I am looking at the competition gray c6 z06 spyder wheels and also maybe going with black stock c5 z06 wheels. Just something that will fit my stock tire sizes I have now.

Any help is appreciated.

I had my original Z06 wheels painted a bright silver. I really liked how they brightened up the car.

Or you can go all out and get new wheels.

I just bought Fikse FM5's in full polish, no pics yet but they are going to look awesome. They're fairly cheap now, too, if you can find them used.

Thanks Nate !
Yes you do need an alignment if you lower your car. When you lower it it will begin to wear heavily on the insides of all 4 wheels.

Don't bother asking me how I know...

I'm running 19/20 Ruff R281s that were powdercoated matte black with gloss black dishes. Also have the dressed up chrome rivets with chrome/polished centercaps. That along with the quicksilver and red accents (brakes, mod red int) really pull it all together, im going to post pics as soon as i can get the car out maybe this weekend.

It was my stock Z06 wheels, and after 10K miles I could see the belts showing on the insides of all 4 tires.....

Once I got my CCW setup with new tires I got it aligned asap ! The alignment shop said it was WAY out of spec.

I have the GHL Bullets. After trying a bunch of exhausts I'm stuck on the sound of these. Its just wicked !

Give it a hundred miles of driving to make sure its settled, and its exactly at the height you want BEFORE going in for the alignment.

You don't want to mess with the height after paying to have it aligned.

I see a set of GHL's every day I get home from work and open my garage. Your not getting those though.
