IF you're spending money on new wheels, get a style that really look different. Your choice looks almost the same!

Here are some better pics of the wheels:

I like the "new" wheels... and, white is by far the sexist color on, well, any car but especially a vette. I wish I'd waited to find a nice white z... that's what I get for being impatient I guess.

They look good but have a similarity to the ones you have -

Go out on a limb and really change them up - got any more possibilities?

Thanks,Matt

I would like to seethe Interlagos on a C5 also.

One thing to keep in mind is the OEM polished Z06 wheels are light. Make sure whatever you buy to relace doesn't weigh too much more (TSW wheels are light also).

If I had the funds a set of concaves would certainly be on the table. Haven't seen a c5Z with a set yet, really curious how they would look.

any of these could look incredible on a SW Z

*edit not to mention with some TPE or L5 flairs



especially these
