C5 Wheel Feedback, Please
I currently own a 2002 millennium yellow roadster with chrome Z06 wheels. I'm looking to change my wheels to black. Any and all suggestions for rim style and finish from forum members would be appreciated. Thanks.

What is your budget? Leaving an open ended question will yield a lot of results with varying price ranges that are not cheap!
At the inexpensive end, I would recommend TSW nurburgring, or TSW interlagos, or Forgestar cf5, or Forgestar cf14. All are around the same price and have good reputations. You can go with repo's but as they are cheaper but also weigh more as well.
cheers

Get the wheels you like. We all have different opinions here.

Any of those would be good choices. The TSW look very good.

An inexpensive option would be reproduction wheels. I personally like the C6 Z06 style in chrome, gloss black or black with machined face.
BTW... I love your user name.

I just recently bought the OEM C5 Z06 polished wheels for my Vette. I haven't put them on yet. I may not since finding tires for those wheels are very limited. I may go with TSW's and like others say wheels are a personal taste. Buy what YOU like.

Plastidip your z06 wheels if all you want is a color change. They have tons of colors available now including the good old black. I have had great experiences with stuff on wheels and even dipped whole cars. Best part is you can play around and find what you like or change it when your tired of it or just peel it off and go back to what you had.
