Check out The C6 picture thread sticky at the top of the page. Should be able to see all the different wheel there.

If you have any thought of going to after market then get the stock NO EXTRA CHARGE wheels. Other than that it's what ever floats your boat. There are hundreds of pics of forum member cars with stock and after market wheels.........

You guys are missing the point. My dealer only get one a year and the salesmen are as dumb as a bag of hammers. I looked at the pics on the forum before but most pics are not that good for the wheels and those that are do not tell you which wheel it is???

Here are the chrome wheels. These are aftermarket WCC's which were traded for the stock (no charge painted) and, with trade, cost about $800 installed. The GM chrome would look the same with the exception of the center caps which have embossed flags instead of stickers.

Save your money and get the stock rims and after you purchase the car, order the chrome exchange through West Coast Corvettes. I just upgraded my stock with Chrome C-6 for $645.00. They installed for $120.

Chrome looks great. I had a hard time getting chrome wheels from the factory though due to constraints. Go with Bob's house of wheels or WCC for GM chromed C6 wheels.
I have always bought my wheels from Bob, he does a good job. Beware of the repo wheels, some are very heavy. Chromed GM wheels run around 1200 on the aftermarket. Most will give you a trade in on your painted stock wheels of 300-350.

I got the base rims with plans to exchange for chrome and save over a grand.
But I really dig them now. And they are painted inside too.
I dont think the chrome rims are chrome inside. For now Im going to stay with them. I bet they will keep looking nice for years to come if I choose to keep them.
