Default C7 Z06 wheels for my GS ???

Hi everyone I'm thinking of going with chrome c7 Z06 wheels for my silver GS has anyone done this? Also I'm thinking on going with replica wheels from House Of Wheels in my stock GS size front and rear has anyone used replica wheels from them if so how did you like them. If anyone has any pictures of c7 Z06 wheels on a GS I'd love to see them thanks.

You will need to go with an after market wheel as the OME C7 wheels are not the correct size and offset for a C6 GS.
As for reproductuion wheels, I had C6 Z06 wheels on my C5 from Reproduction wheels and never had an issue, but remember they do weight more then OME wheels in most cases.

They would look great. Check with Bob at House of Wheels for fitment questions. I think they come in black, chrome and gunmetal. The OEM GM wheels are expensive, reproductions are more reasonable.

I thought The C7 Z06 wheels and the C6 Z06 / GS wheels were pretty close on offset? Maybe I am wrong though.

If you want C7 Z06 wheels and have a normal non-widebody C6 then, Yes repros are required.

Here is a photo of a set of OEM C7Z wheels in 19/20 on my C6. I'm running spacers to accommodate the SV widebody, but they fit the stock GM widebody fine without spacers. They're very close to C6ZR1 fitment.

Just bought these on a ZO6 Forum. Just arrived. Take offs from a '16 ZO6.
Like new condition. Will go on my '10 GS. Need new Michelins to go with them. May take a few weeks. Car is up for the winter here in the NE anyway. Will put the Forgelines and Bridgestones up for sale.

I almost bought a set of these when I was looking at replacing the tires on my GS. If the seller would have come down on the price a little, I would have bought them.

I ended up just sticking with the stock GS wheels and a set of Michelin PSS. I sometimes regret the decision because I really like the look of the C7 Z06 wheels, but feel a little better when I have to clean my wheels and only have the simple 5 spokes to deal with. These can't be fun to keep clean.

Still... they look incredible on a wide-body C6. Maybe when this set of PSS's wear out, I'll reconsider. Gotta be silver though, which like ZR1 wheels, seem to be in relatively short supply.

What size rims?
What are the actual color of these wheels i.e. Hyper silver?

They look good .

19 and 20. They are GM wheels off a '16 ZO6. I guess Hyper Silver? Not sure exactly what it is called.

Beautiful wheels. Maybe a dumb question, but are they a direct fit on a c6 GS or Z? Thanks,

Putting C7 centercaps on a C6 is just plain wrong. In my book it ruins the identity of that generation.
