Just curious what the overall thought is towards putting off gen wheels on a car. I've got a set of comp. gray repro Z06 wheels on my 06 and I'm thinking of going with something new and I like some of the black C6 repro wheels, but also like the look of the C7 base wheels in black. However I'm not sure on the thought of putting C7 wheels on a C6. Wondering if others think that kind of thing is a no no as far as mixing and matching goes. Not trying to start any flame wars, just curious what others honestly think. Thanks.

I never cared for the practice in any generation.

I'm with you. It feels a bit poser-ish or mix matched to me. It's one thing to put repro wheels of the same gen on...for instance I have Z06 style wheels on a non-Z06, but it's still the same gen so it feels ok to me.

Don't have any quarrel with some one mixing generations on wheels (likely would not care for it on ours). If it looks good, it looks good.

We trudge on.

I have no problem using wheels from another gen. I think the C5 with C6 polished 5 spokes is an awesome look. I have noticed several on the C5 forum so it must be a popular move.

Your car. Put the wheels on which set your little heart aflutter.

Not a fan of the base C7 wheels, but the Z06 ones look good. Should fit wide body C6.

if you like the design and it fits, then do it!

I prefer to get away from OEM designs if I'm going to change out wheels, though. I like to be a little more unique.

It's a car.

It has wheels.

Which wheels it has should be based on which wheels you like.

Period.

Exactly.

There was a post a few weeks ago of a C6 with the C7 wheels - I think they looked good.

my instinct was to say no, but looking at the black C6 I now say YES!

Hameister

Those wheels look very good on the C6. They'd look good on any 'vette.

I wonder how long it's going to take before someone calls him a "poser", or "C7 wannabe", or something else equally as stupid.

If they fit, you can't beat the deals...

I have seen new wheels with new Michelin's for as low as 1200.00.
People are replacing the wheels and tires as soon as they drive off of the lot.

My question is do they fit a C6 Base?
You can't buy the tires for 1200.00. I would do it. Those wheels look sweet.

The only poser in my eyes are the jokers who buy Corvettes and only drive them in warm dry weather to the local car show then directly back home.

I say sure. From the pics I've seen, they look nice.

I thought about sourcing C7Z wheels in black for my GS. Ended up going with forgestars in black instead lol

CelestialShow

My view is to put any of thousands of designs available on it BUT NOT from another generation Corvette. Just doesn't "feel" right to me. Strictly my feelings on the matter.

If you like them just do it,guy's on hear put wheels from other models of vettes on their cars all the time.Z06,ZRI wheels on base vette.

I wouldn't put a screw from a C7 on my GS. Sorry it's just the way I feel.
