I don’t mine F14’s been thinking of switching to some Weld M71’s. They remind me of Sp500’s which is the best looking CCW’s.

I want to put the aftermarket c6 zr1 style wheel on my 2004 convertible . The way I understand it the stock wheels are 18x9.5 and 17x8.5 . All I see out there in the new wheel is 18x10.5 and 17x9.5 . Will these wheels fit ok ? I have new continental 245-45-r17 and 275-40-r18 tires. Thanks

Hands down, my C7 Z06 chrome 18"/19". Take a bit to clean them, but man o man, they stop traffic.

8 pages of pictures. I'm surprised no one has posted these. C6 Z06 wheels. I see them on a lot of C5s.

Yes that size wheel will work fine with that size tire. That is the exact combination that i have on my car now for close to 8 years now. No problem.

Mine are niche. Liked them for about month and slowly got sick of them. Only been on for 8 moths or so. Maybe 500 miles. But now going wide body. So thinking either f14 or welds. Hmmm
