Default Some suggestions please!!!
Hey guys, I have a 2005 Lemans Blue c6 and its time for some new tires, so i figured I would get some new wheels as well. I can't seem to find some that look real good with the lemans blue. I want to try and avoid the cheesy look! any suggestions would be great!

Here is a link to some pictures of my car!

Jeff

If it was mine I'd choose a brushed or polished finish CCW wheel. They are a high quality 1-piece forged aluminum wheel. And they offer many styles. I think the brushed or polished finish is a nice complimentary finish to your LMB.

I have the CCW 505A's in a polished finish. I love the wheels.

I'm going for CCW 505's and Michelin super sports. They'll do the package for you.

Check out this link. They make Zr1 replicas for the "base" C6 that can fit 265/35 18 front and 305/30 19 rear. I'm considering them but haven't pulled the trigger yet...
