Default wheels

I have a 2005 Corvette Z51 coupe and I am looking to get aftermarket wheels and spend no more then 400 per wheel. I want them to be as light as possible but still stylin, I plan on sticking with 18" in the fronts & 19" in the back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike Jr

Also any pictures please feel free to email me at mikem@pennfab.com

Personally, I think you are going to be hard-pressed to find a light, quality wheel for $400...you might try checking out Tire Rack, House of Wheels or Discount Tire.

Personally, the only wheels I've liked on the C6 are the stock and ZO6 stock wheels. The absolute best on the base C6 are the chrome ZO6 wheels. Nothing else comes close.

Call John at CCW. They make great stuff. You are going to pay more than $400 per wheel though.

Remember the triangle - Good, Cheap, Now. You can only pick two.
