Default C6 replica wheels...
I got to start by saying that DOCZ is the man!!! Superb customer service and of course great wheels.

I've had them about a month now and absolutely love them. I went with all chrome and black lug nuts.

I got these ones because I am a big fan of the dish look. They don't stick out past the car but they have an attractive dish plus they are still easy to clean.

I am not a big fan of chrome wheels but on a white car they do look very nice but with that black top so would black. Both look VERY nice!

I had just purchased new tires about a month prior for the stock wheels. So they are the stock sizes (245/45-17 & 275/40-18) as I wasn't wanting to buy new tires again.

I didn't know if they would work on a little bit wider rim but Keith answered all questions I had quickly and thoroughly. If there is a specific look you are looking for like squared off or a little rounded like european cars give Keith call or email and he will walk you through all your options.
