I like the Z06 wheels the best, but of the choices, the '08-'09 Split Spoke.

Our 2009 Victory Red came with chrome Gumbys, they are now in storage (not for sale) and replaced by 2009 silver painted split-spokes.

To me, the chrome Gumbys are too flashy, I called the car "My Pimpmobile" while they were on it.

Your car, your money, your choice.

Come on man! That would be alot of work a real C6 guy would know all the factory stock C6 wheels but I am not including the Z06 and ZR1 wheels because they are in a different league of their own! Also remember no after market choices.
