Want opinions on what wheels you would go with if you had this car. I am looking at some chrome ZR1 wheels, maybe C6 Z as well.

I like those wheels, actually. Are they damaged, or are you just looking for a change?

I think the stock wheel from the 11 or 12 model which has a thinner spoke, black with machine face would look great on silver car!!?? Usually found on reproduction wheel sites

I like your stock wheels too. If you're just looking to switch things up, why not plastidip the stockers?

I also really like those Spyders.

Depending on what's damaged about them, you may be able to get them fixed up nicely. My father used one of those mobile wheel repair places for his 911's wheels (pretty intricate BBS wheels that needed refinishing), and a coworker of mine had his wheels on his Edge Sport repaired from being pretty well bent.

Just a thought. I think black wheels would look great on your car.

My vote is for Chrome Z06 or chrome Spyders, not a fan of those stock wheels.

That looks awesome. With blacked out reflectors it'd be perfect.
