Recommendation for wheels?
Was wondering if anyone could recommend a pair of rims (either 18 and 19 inch, or 19 and 20 inch) that would look great on a C6 without having to lower the car. Pics of any examples would great.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The wheels in My Corvette Photos are SP16a from CCW. If you like any of their wheel styles, they can put together a wheel/tire package complete with TPMs, balanced and shipped to anywhere you like. They are a fine product and well respected.

It is really a personal preference option. What I like is OZ Superleggeras (sp?) but at $1k a wheel? Be careful with weight on some wheels. 18/19 inch wheels should be in the mid 20s. Some wheels look great until you have to clean them so the question is how willing are you to keep them clean. Chrome wheels also require more maintenance. Make sure your insurance policy covers theft because wheels are easy to steal, even with locks. I always liked BBS and CCW wheels, some can be a pain to clean.
Don't put anything bigger than 19/20 wheel combo on the Vette. It looks ghetto IMO then, you'll hate the ride and potholes will be even less your friend.

The COR guys are great! I would highly recommend them. 
Nitto Invo tires are also great. I love mine.
I would also say to look at www.forgeline.com and if you go this way, talk to Scott Main.
There are a lot of great wheels out there. Do research.
