On an 08 z51. I am just trying to find the best deal, and I am going back and forth between 4 different dealers. Anyway, the reason for the post is, after I get the car I want to put some CCW's on it. 1st question, is does anybody have any pics of ccw's on a c6 that they could post, and 2nd should I have any concerns with the tps sensors? Do they just fit onto the new wheels, or is there some fabrication involved? Please excuse my ignorance, but all i have ever had were Z06's and didnt have to worry about tps sensors, except for my 07 but I didnt change the wheels on that one.

There are no problems with installing the tire pressure sensors. they slide right into the valve stem hole. Check out our gallery section on our website. We have some pictures of C6's on there.

As you're talking to 4 dealers trying to find the best deal, be sure to find out about anticipated delivery time. A low price without allocation is worthless.

10-4 on the allocation question. Some dealers will hook you with a price and then pull the old "our next allocation is next year" trick after you have signed on the line. Be careful out there.
