Default Help me pick wheels for my C6 (links inside)

I have a red 2006 base coup Vette and I'm trying to decide which wheels from OE Wheels to put on my car. What wheels do you guys like ? I'm pretty sure I want to stay with 19's on the back and 18's on the front like the car has stock. Unless someone could tell me the benefits of maybe running 18's all the way around. Maybe I could run a taller/wider tire with the 18 on the back ? I'm just not sure what to do. Please help


I'm not sure what Gunmetal would look like but I don't want the rivets either.

Maybe a deep dish with polished lip.

Or maybe just the standard black.

I think I have decided to go with chrome ZO6 Cup wheels after looking at red C6's with all these wheels.http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...T#.U9WUULHchZc

Now do I stay with stock size tires or can I fit a little more meat on the 19x10 Rears ? Or would I need to go with 18's all the way around to do that ? What would some good tire sizes be for the 19's ? Or if the 18's would be the better choice for more tire what size would that be ?

The chrome just seems to bring the red out more than the black wheels did. A little more flashy with the chrome I think..

They are 18X9.5 and 19X11. Offsets are right for reg C6.
I'm having recent trouble with my photobucket account and can't pull them up now. I posted them here before over the years but can't get them up at this time. I'll give it a try to figure out tomorrow what's wrong and correct it if I can.

I vote for option #1, I love the Comp Gray look, mine's Cyber Gray with Comp Grays, but I've seen a couple in Torch Red that look great with the gray wheels too. Way too many with Black wheels out there, just my $.02.
