Can you please tell me where you found the wheels on this Z? The centers look like C5 wheels and the spokes look like C6 wheels. I have searched everywhere and cannot find these wheels. Please point me in the right direction. Thank you,

I have OEM C6 GS wheels on my car in Comp Gray

Default C5 with C6 Z06 wheels

I just put C6 Z06 on my C5 and love them no fitment issues at all.

Where did you pick up your OEMs? Approx price? I need tires soon and want to do wheels at the same time.

I looked at the gs wheel but didn't like how the spoke protruded out just a bit where it meets the rim. Real easy to mark if u curb it, just mho. Really nice looking wheel.

Do you happen to have a picture that shows how much they stick out more from a back view? I love the wheels but not sure on how much they stick out.

I know this is an old post but I am new to the forum and just wondering if you installed any spacers or just did a straight up wheel swap? Looking at a set of c6 zo6 rims for my 1999 base just want to know if i need spacers or not? Thanks in advance, p.s. nice car.

The Z06 wheels will be wider than the base so they may stick out to far and get a lot of road rash on your fenders. I bought a set of C6Z06 replicas that were the same size and offset as my stock wheels and put on my 01 base corvette and they worked really well.

That’s always a good look to show you don’t know what style is, and what doing it right the ‘first time’ is!

...and how can you really know that’s a ZO6 with an ‘ironing board’ on the back??? Very tastefully slapped together...

And we need some more badges on the front fenders, three (3) is NOT ENOUGH.

Like the color though.

Post up some rear/side pics. It’s still sitting on the jack stands right?

Hey guys,
I got a chance to buy OEM C6 Z06 wheels at a good price. They are sporting Michelin Super Sport tires.

I do powder coating and also have a small machine shop.

The wheels are:

325-30 zr 19 (12")
275-35 zr 18 (10'')
Will this fit my C5 Z06 lowered on stock bolts?

If they stick out too much, can I machine off some of the inside mounting face to compensate?
Thanks

Oh god no! That's a bad idea! The wheels will stick out. Some can live with while others cannot. Another option is to buy rear flares.
