Default C6 wheel options on a MY Z06?

Trying to decide what wheels to go with. I'm not the kind of guy to spend $4k on wheels for a $20k car either. Looking at maybe black or chrome C6 wheels of one kind or another. If you have a MY C5 with C6 wheels please post up some pics!


Thanks,

CJ

These aren't chrome but here's my C5 with C6 (2006 OEM) wheels.

The C6 Z06 or the ZR1 wheels (in correct C5 offsets) would look good on your car. Even the GS wheels would be a good choice.

Here is a couple of mine, they are 06-08 Z06 wheels I believe.






I have a WCC book that just came in the mail and it had some of these in it for about $900 or so for a set with C5 offsets.

I also went with the C6 ZO6 rim size, 17X9.5 and 18X10.5, perfect offset and fills the wheel wells great (No rubbing front or rear).

Looks great... What size tires are you running on those? Also, where did you buy the wheels?

For everybody that has put the C6 wheels on your C5 and they are larger, such as 18" front and 19" rear, how bad did it throw off your speedometer?

Thanks in advance

Have you thought about looking into the TSW or Forgestar? Not pricey at all.

That's exactly the stance I've been looking for!

Love the look of my spyder repros. These are stock coupe sizes. Would have looked better in Z06 size but my tires were practically new and I wasn't up for spending any more $$.

Always have liked the spiders. If I were to get a backup set of wheels I think I would get these in 18F 19R. But I really like my c6 z06 with the way they look as well so I cant rationalize the cost.
