I just have to say that I'm in love with what your car has become.

Here's a picture as you remember it back over a decade ago. It's been quite an enjoyable endeavor putting this all together over the years, and thankful that is coming to end....A 427, C6Z brakes, built rear end and maybe one more seat change out to Caravaggio and I'll be "officially" done with big mods for this car. I thank you profusely for the compliment Sean, and for the care and work you've done to my car in the past. Your expertise and wrench turning is far better than my skills.

My favorite wheels for the C5 are actually the base C6 five spokes in chrome...they look sharp as hell on the C5! My 2nd favorite are the chrome wagon wheels...

Thanks! They're Forgestar CF5 with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I installed an LPE mini tub kit to fit the rears. I need to get updated pics taken. Since these I've installed drop spindles, C6Z brakes, and a rear diffuser. Wheel and tire sizes are as follows.

Front: 18x9.5 +49 275/35/18
Rear: 19x12 +73 345/30/19

Here's mine. OZ racing 3 piece forged wheels made in Italy. There's always been that debate on chrome or black ? I chose to go all out by custom powder coating them with black lips, pearl gray metallic spokes with polished faces, torch red barrels and polished stainless steel hardware topped off with Jake center caps. They are definitely one of a kind ! 19X10 and 20X12 with 275/30-19 and 345/25-20 Invo's.

Mine are the OEConcepts and they are the C6 Z06 style with a little lip. I've had them on since 08/12//2009. Still in great shape for being that long ago. I have them in the C5Z sizes and also the tires the same size as the C5Z.

This is actually the 1st set I had on, 12/12/2008, until I found they came with a lip. Then I had to change them out.



These are the ones with the lip and are on the car still today.
