Classic Z06 look, simple, clean. It also looks great in all colors, gunmetal, chromed, or black.

I didn't know that Gumbys came on Z06's . I learn something everyday.

I love them

If I ever replace my originals, those are the ones for me.

1. The wheels on my VR coupe are not Z06-style.
2. My car is a coupe, not a Z06.
3. They are not Gumby-style wheels either.

But thanks for your vote anyways!

I agree to a certain extent. Anyone else notice all the base cars look like 4x4's with larger aftermarket wheels. Too much gap for me. I like them almost tucked but as flush as possible to the outer edge of the fenders.

Thought about this but seems like so many cars now-a-days have them. They use to be one of my personal favorites until I started seeing them on tons of f-bodys and vettes. I still like them but would rather have the unique factor. I love the current stance of the car and I wish to keep that stance but with a staggered combo. Let me give you an idea for what I have in mind.
1. I want to shoot for having one of the most memerable base c6s out there. I need a good wheel to catch those eyes
2. I want the perfect stance with functioning capability to haul *** in a straight line and taking turns.
3. I think I wanna do a staggard look again but with wider front wheels and tires for turns. Maybe a 16'' or 17'' rear with a wider/taller meaty tire and a 18x9 or 19x9 front with a low profile tire (for turns).

Honestly I dont know what the stance will be after installing a larger wheel. I want a tucked sexy look with as much concave or lip I can fit. Color is something I am currently on the fence about as well.

Do you have a name or part number for the front lip this car has? Looks awesome. I thoroughly believe small cosmetic changes/additions can allow the base model cars to competitively look just as good as the z06/zr1 although it takes a very specific combination to make this happen that many of us dont have an eye for. Love the car btw!

Awwwww. Someone got their feelings hurt. Cheer up, turn that frown upside fown, rainyface. It's just the internet. I hear there's a real world offline where people are allowed to have opinions, and I keep hearing about this "First Ammendment" thingamajiggie. Log out and investigate for me will ya? Check back in with your findings once you've gotten over your butthurt.
