Default Chrome z06 wheels on DSOM c6? Pics!

Im thinking of going with the chrome z06 wheels as several friends have suggested. What do you guys think?

1st pic is my car as it sits now

2nd pic is a members car (awesome car) with zo6 c6 wheels in chrome

3rd pic is a members car (also just as awesome) with the new deep dish style z06 wheels

Which should I get?

I think the way the original z06 wheels are setup makes them look bigger. All wheels posted are the same size.

Man I am in the exact same boat as you. I have a 05 DSOM and the factory supercars are about done. I have been trying to decide do I go with the factory chrome 5 spokes or the chrome Z06 replicas. I ended up ordering the chrome 5 spokes and new tires today. That picture of the DSOM with chrome Z06's looks very good!!

These are the two pictures that had me sold on the chrome 5 spokes!! Looks soooo good to. (note this is not my car just pics I found online).

Changing to chrome ZO6 wheels was the first thing I did to my '05 DSOM. I think they make the car POP!

I have an '05 DSOM....I like the subtlety of the original brushed aluminum look of the OEM. That being said, you wanted our opinion of the three pics....I like the 2nd with the Z06 chromes.

Black z06 wheels would be the best. The ones you have now look small for some reason.

The deep dish would be my choice because they have more of a custom look and the additional offset fills up the wheelwell better. You would need to check for clearance though at full suspension travel.

I think the Z06 replicas look the best IMHO. The deep dish kinda look out of place to me for some reason.

I absolutely love them on my car! The second pic out of the 3 that you posted is my ride. The rims that I bought were made by O.E. Concepts. I wanted the ones that were the closest to O.E.M I could find.

Here's another pic for ya.........



P.S. I ended up finding some high quality Corvette Flag stickers to replace the "Generic" ones that you see in the pictures. They look muck better.

No, it's at factory ride height. F55 suspension.
