C5 or C6 Z06 wheel
Z06 WHEEL RECOMMENDATION (Chrome C5 vs Chrome C6 Wheels) for my C5 Vert
Im having a tough time deciding on new wheels to choose.
Should I go with the wheels that belong to the C5 group (Z06)
or
Should I go with the new Z06 wheels from the C6
I guess my hang up is that I have never liked swapping OEM's between different models (ie c5 and c6 wheels)???
Thanks for your feedback?

hmmm...maybe you should try z07 wheels. they've got the look of the c6z wheels while having styling cues that came with the c5.
a good compromise perhaps?

As stated earlier, a nice compromise is the Z07 wheel like I and Willfulone have. For some reason, I think it looks better on a C5 - maybe because the center of the wheel is the same as the OEM C5 Z06 wheels
Good luck! Trying to decide on new wheels is a great problem to have!

Pretty much why I went with the same rims, but I am not a big chrome guy so I went with the Hyperblack, but on an Aritic White Vette I think the not so blingly is better at least for me
Plus getting center caps with the C5 Cross Flags looks much better on a C5
