Wheels???
Thanks for the ideas and replies about emblems. Intake, exhaust, and lowered all done. Oh and did a 4 step buff polish and finish to the paint. Hats off to chemical guys and Rejex for making it look amazing. Now on to wheels and tires. Decisions decisions. I don't wanna go full 20s 19s I like seeing a little tire. So 19s 18s are good for me. Any thoughts?? I would consider trading the factory magnesium wheels (I think they're magnesium) and tires. All the exchange programs only want the same wheel in return which seems silly for my goals.

I'll be the first to answer in purist fashion. Original polished thin-spokes, or polished Z06. Prettiest wheels ever on the car.
Although, to be honest, C6 Z06 wheels look good too...

Your best bet would be to either find someone that would be willing to offer up a set of wheels you like in exchange for your magnesium wheels or just find a set of wheels you like and then sell your OEM wheels.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I like seeing a little tire..
I am going through this myself on my 04Z
If I read you right, you like some 'meat' on the rim; ie no 'rubber band' tires.
The stock 17/18 wheels have very good tire size options and look quite "meaty".
Less choice in 19, 20. I went from stock-size C6ZR1 reps with stock tire sizes, to 18/19. The 18looks good but the 19 suffers a bit from rubber-band effect
I am not happy as yet with my new 18/19 setup.Not to over-promote, but I have my old 17/18 wheel/tire package for sale here. Let me know if interested. Honestly it's the best meatiest 'fit' I've seen.
