Been thinking of changing the wheels out down the road - really like the C7 Z06 style - C6 Z06 a possibility and the C6 ZR1 - just looking for suggestions - I know the final decision is whatever I like (and the wife has a big say also) - only concern with the C7 Z06 is the cleaning - if anyone has photoshop skills feel free to practice on the pics. Have the magnesium wheel option that came with it - hate to get rid of them but I'm thinking chrome would look so much better with the blue.

Jim, I have the c7Z wheels, and if I were doing it again I would get the c7 Z51's instead. Those extra 10 spokes make cleaning much harder.

I agree about the C7 Z51 wheels - so much easier to clean and they look great.

C6 Z06 or C7 Z51 both look great and are both easier to keep clean.

C6 Z-06 in C5 Z -06 size with stock C5 tire size. I agree about what chrome would do for your car.

I went with the C7 Z06... I agree they are a little harder to clean, but I like the way they look.

It all comes down to personal preference.

I would recommend going with 18 19 setup will give the car a updated look and not sacrafice your ride too much.

I like the gun metal with your color - very nice - stock 17/18 or 18/19?

Daypoblue

I went 17/18

Someone say "easy to clean" compared to my last wheels I love these Forgestar's

Shakeydeal

You mention chrome in your OP. I ask that you please do not do that........

The Forgestar CF5s have to be the easiest wheels to clean. Check out their other styles, too. And, you can get them pretty much in any color you want.

Thanks, sky! It'll be about another 45 days before it sees pavement again. Hibernation is the price we pay for living in the north.

Some years back, I went with the C6 ZR1 style in 18/19. I really liked the look at the time, but probably would not do it today - just too many spokes compared to the more modern styles, like the C7 wheels.

not a fan of chrome? Some colors the blackout look or gunmetal color look great - some just scream for chrome - I was debating the gunmetal but chrome and blue look so good together
