Still think the best stock wheels ever offered on a Corvette where the ZR1/GS five spoke rims.

Just my .02 ¢

They look a little like something on a pimp's ride. The best looking wheels I ever saw were on my 01.

Awful-looking wheels. PLEASE GM don't fug up the '08s. If this is any indication...yikes.

Or if, because you're GM, you just have to, please offer a convertible Z06.

100%
I do love my Comp Grey C6 rims but those ZR1 and black GS rims (aka: the A Mold wheels) were and still are quite beautiful.
I have a set of them in 17x9 (stock Camaro SS rims) and might put them on my Z28.

I kind of like these, they remind me of the Z06 wheel, but they need to be chromed and shown in a picture showing the whole C6.

I don't really understand the negativity towards this wheel..they don't look "Gay", or bad. This still isn't 100% sure they will be the 08' wheel since this is off the 2007 pace car and no official Gm 08' specs have been released.

Not bad, but I kind of like the Z06 straight split spokes a little better. Your car looks great.

Or, comp gray. Wth, all we're looking at right now is a two dimensional computer generated picture. At least wait untill it's on the street.
