Installed my new knock off Zo6 wheels and Hankoook tires a couple weeks back. I'm not sure if I will sell or keep the OEM set, Just curious who likes which one. May switch back once in a while, perhaps back to chrome.

I have a machine silver '06 with chrome five-star rims. My vote is for the Z06 replicas.

I like the 5 spoke. I think they would look even better with the calipers painted.

On YOUR car, I vote Zo6 black, just like they are. The 5 spoke black look too common and too much chrome on a vette is too blingy for me.

Those are knock-off ZR1 wheels, not Z06.

Black wheels don't look good on silver cars IMHO.
Also, I would stick with the 5-spokes because they are stupid easy to clean.

I like black wheels on certain colored vehicles, but IMO chrome looks better on silver ones

I'm old school, the more chrome the better.

I'm not a huge fan of chrome, but they came on my car, so I got used to it.

I hope that you final decision will not, be based on the a group consensus. what happens when people start telling you that silver is not the best color? what if no one replied you post?
bottom line, what's your preference?
no vote from me. when it comes to style, that's too personal a question. if you talking performance, or trouble shooting, then it's open season. color & generation choice can only be decided by each person. as you can see, this will never be a clear winner on this.
having said that, please keep posting though! you may still find that answer that makes a difference.
as I always says, it's a 'vette, how wrong can you be?
(Imo, nice looking ride! ).

between the two, I like the new set. If the old 5-spoke were chrome, that would be my choice. But, the black Z06 look much better than the black 5 spoke.

Ha, thanks. Although I'm not the OP on this thread, just have a similar looking car.
