New Wheels

Thinking of getting new wheels for my 03 Torch Red Vert. Really leaning hard towards the C6Z06 spiders. Will be replacing the sensors as well. Going to do OEM sizes. Any thoughts or advice. Thanks

If it were me, I would go a little larger than stock size. Also, make sure you get good tires, they cost more up front, but really compliment our cars (performance wise)!!!

I've got a TR FRC & went with the black wheels w/red pin stripe from DOCZ (forum vendor). Stayed w/stock sizes. Running black lugs but have chromies I may change out to. Sorry no pics but you can go to DOCZ web site for loads of pics. Good luck!
