Default Phat Look

You guys have been great in assisting me in the past, thank you. I currently have my 02 all stock. I am looking into a wheel and tire setup that will give my vette the "phat look." I was originally thinking about the black ZO6 wheels with the chrome trim, but I'm not sure if I like the black wheels on a silver car. My next look was the chrome Cray Scorpions, and I have seen some of you guys with the wheels that stick out farther, and fill up the wheelwell. It just makes the car look badass. Thanks again, guys.

-Nick

Something like these would look great on a silver car also:

Pewter with black z06 replicas and the polished ring...

I think 'phat' when I have 'em on,...

But then again... I think this is 'phat' too!

Out of all of them....I really like the black wheels, but I think I would get tired of that. The C6 wheels look really good as well, does anybody make spacers for the back wheels?

Go to the "store" link at the top of the page. Click C5 parts, obviously, and look into tire and wheel packages. THOSE are what I'm looking for. The 505A. Is this a repop of The Cray? I think it is a really clean look. Anybody have bigger pics of their car with these wheels?

The 19" CCW 505A's are a great choice but pricey. Look at LG Motorsports new wheels that look like the 505A's. These are nice wheels. They had a special on, maybe you can squeeze Lou a little bit!!
