I got OE wheels on my car, and love them! I paid 521 shipped for this set of 18x10.5 x4, and put some invo's on them. I think they look amazing for such a cheap wheel.

Your car looks amazing and so do the wheels. Can't beat the price for the look. I have $662 in my C6 Z06 Deep Dish chrome wheels and just the other day my wife was walking across the parking lot towards my car and her exact quote was "your wheels are beautiful", that just says it all in my book.

97redragtop,

Tell me, where did you score your C6 Z06 Deep Dish Chrome whells for $662.00?

I am ready to pull the trigger on these, but the best price I've found is $700.00 and that's from O E Wheels...

Thanks in advance! BTW, beautiful TR vert...

i have sold dozens of the replica wheels and have even had them on my car for the last 4 years. I now have Boze Forged Tach 3pc wheels. Save the money and buy forged when you can. Well worth the money and wait

i can get you pricing on factory reproductions, oe wheels and wheel replicas if you find a set you like

Boze ZE Forged on my car

C5 BearsFan,

How 'bout a great price on the "Chrome C6 Z06 Wheel Set 17x9.5 and 18x10.5" shipped to 68123?

I'm debating between these and the same wheel but on a deep dish, I don't suppose you carry that (didn't see it on your site).

Wish I could afford CCWs or something like that....but it's just impossible for me right now. I need some nice lookin' poor-mans wheels. Thanks!

I will PM you a price tomorrow when I get to the shop.
Sorry I dont have any of the paperwork at home. I can get deep dish OE no problem.

Actually the deep dish I know I can ship as they are in stock. The C6 Z wheels are out of stock till JUne 12th as I am wiaitng on 4 sets to ship to customers.

The website I ahev to get finalized as I just have had no time to do it LOL

The forged are so worth it but like you said not cheap. The Boze Forged like I have will run in the 4300-4500.00 range depending on finish and sizing.

My recommendation would be to update to stock C6 chrome 19x18 wheels and tires. It fills out the wheel wells, especially if it has been lowered, and looks stock.
As seen my avatar, the contrast between chrome and black is stunning. If you have a lot of performance modifications, it looks like the car has been driven hard, and Joe Blow wouldn’t want it. Or for that matter, any guy that knows the car has been beat hard... If you do too many performance Modifications it scares people off. For the most part the only way to go is to remove the mods before selling, and part out the mods. I have seen in many cases the car will be worth less than stock with the $thousands spent on performance modifications.

I did this (exactly) and LOVE them!

JW was awesome, love the wheels, and as far as traction - I have TONS more grip after I ditched the nasty, loud runflats.

By the way, weight difference was negligible.

We hooked him up. I think the price is off a little, but he got a little military discount

JW, you don't know how much I appreciate what you did for me. I love my wheels and got more compliments on them yesterday. I wouldn't want any other set of wheels on my car and wouldn't want to go anywhere else for parts either. Great business you have going on there.
