Default wheels for a C5

I've just picked up a 02 coupe black on black. Looking at wheels and would like some help. Like the z06 c5 style, just not sure about chrome, silver or black.
Mods include tint, BB exhaust, Z06 brake upgrade.

Photo's of similar?
Thanks in advance.
Jim

BBS or i-Forged are a good choice.

I also recommend CCW. A lot of my friends have them and they are beyond exceptional in quality and appearance.


On a side note, am I the only one annoyed by the staggered wheel sizes on the Vette's? I mean look at the photo above. Drives me nuts when the rear tire profile is so much shorter than the front tire. One of the reasons I've been looking into getting the same size wheels.

if this helps you on the same size wheels.
I went 19 on all 4 with my new Boze Forged being built for me.
19 x 10.5 and 19 x 9.5
305 30 19
265 30 19
Hankook Ventus
This gives me same tire height and enough difference in size to offset the traction control as well.

PS
the CCW wheels shown do look great and even better in person on this car as I have seen them in person. You dont notice the difference like in the pic
