Default New Wheels

A thank you to Keith @ DOCZ- 1st Rate Corvette Parts & Acc. A great vendor to work with and great pricing! I have been trying to find some new wheels for my car and had no idea it would be such a challenge. Many thanks to the forum and those that have posted pictures throughout the years, it really did help in my decision - there are some great looking cars on here. I wish I had the $$ for the CCWs, but maybe next time. For now I stayed with 17/18 b/c I recently got the car and the tires are brand new. The car had chrome Z06 wheels previously, but I wanted something different. These are C6Z Motorsports Gunmetal Deep dish. I was worried w/o seeing one of these wheels in person, but am pretty happy with the change. For anyone else considering these wheels - here is a picture. Thanks, Brian

Looks great. Now you need to lower it a smidge.

Just ordered some rims from Keith myself - can't wait to get them!

I saw you leaving with the old wheels, but didn't see you come back with the new ones. Pictures look great.

New wheels look very good. The color goes well with your car's body color.
