My dad and I are trying to decide what wheels to go with on his artic white 09 c6 targa. We are trying to keep it OEM.

So far looked at C6 Zr1 reps in gloss black. Thats it really. I was wondering if anyone has Zr1 reps on there c6 and if so , can you post some photos along with where you got them.

Also was interested in C6 Grandsport wheels , also if anyone is running them on a c6 coupe (NOT GS) , please post. Here's the site we are looking at.

I'd definitely look into the OEM 19/20 inch "Cup" style wheels in either silver or black. Those are the best OEM wheel ever offered on a Vette, in my opinion (and many others).

i love those. i forgot to mention those were an idea of ours too. thing is my dad wont be lowering his vette, so trying to find a wheel that will look the best without touching the lowering bolts. that first pic, the white lowered z on the cup wheels looks amazing

I have to say, the cup wheels for OEM look are the best ones so far.

Yes, they are hard to find now since rays discontinued production of those. I was hoping they would do some again in that PCD with their bew lineup but no luck.

If we don't do the gloss black Cup style wheels, going to powdercoat the Comp wheels Corvette Gray like this. I really like this, but in the end its my dads decision. His car. They both look great imo.

if you end up PCing the OEM ones, you can go two tone, gray on the face, matte or gloss black on the barrel.

yeah you can serach wheels like that on google, usually on monoblocks or cast wheels, the face is PCd one way and the rest of the wheel, barrel and lip, the other. Sport muscle makes the OEM GS wheel is like that.

my next set i'm trying to go Gloss black barrel and lip and a anodized bronze center, something like this.

Dark Shadow Gray. Painted.

Black is played out and adds no depth of color. IMO.

Agreed! I wrote you back but ur inbox was full!!! Did you rattle can those yourself? Can you give me the paint code or link to the color u did. U mentioned it was a Ford color but it also looks a lot like the competition gray. You think the PC shop will have a similar color?
