When I went looking for new wheels for my Machine Silver vert, I knew I didn't want chrome and whatever wheel I got couldn't have rivets.

I found CCW had several wheels I liked, and offered most wheels in different finishes.

I chose CCW SP16a forged polished aluminum wheels:






Absolutely love these wheels. Strong, light weight, but after several years I'm thinking of having them anodized hyper gray (just as a change in look.)

Well since you asked the chrome is to strong with the deep dish and the rivets just confuse things. I am just not a fan of chrome wheels especially deep dish on the Vette.

Your car and hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.

I have the stock comp grey split spoke which I know is not to everybody's liking either, but works for me!

I had these EXACT same wheels on my Torch Red C5 and loved them (hated them at same time for all the cleaning)

On a silver car I would go black , or comp grey for sure. CCW and TSW make some great wheels and a decent price. Can't go wrong with either of those IMO

Default C6 Wheel Suggestion

Is there anything avail. to replace the original wheels of a 2011-2012 Base 2LT Coupe (non GS), that has more of a "Hot Rod Look" rather than the more typical sports cars flavor?

If you've got 'em please share info and photos

Thanks. Larry
