My car looks the same as BigBlok502. Maybe I should verify that my car is still here.

NOTHING looks better on a clean shiny black Vette than chrome wheels. And there are so many options out there. Get em.

Beautiful car with each set of wheels. I favor the stock chrome wheels that came on C6 because the better show off the cross drilled rotors.

You guys have some great looking vettes, I think I'm partial to the Chrome Z06 reps so far, keep them coming.

Are those 19/20s..? The angle of the shot looks good.

In my opinion...if buying new wheels? I'd consider the 19/20 inch setups as they do look a bit more contemporary in that sizing.

I go from winter tires on 18/19 Oem grey and then to 19/20 s summers ...

I got the ZO-6 reps on mine, but it's red....(second best color to black). The car had them on it when I bought it. They look good, but i'm not big on putting model specific wheels on a lesser model. ZO-6 wheels on a base in my case. I'll change them if and when I run across something I like, but regardless they will be either chrome or aluminum either polished or cleared.....good luck in your search....

The thing about the chrome wheels with the flat panels ... they're like mirrors. You'll see the reflected flash when you're driving slowly, like in a parking lot. It's difficult to describe.

Photo sample ... the white mark on the pavement is a reflection from the wheel. (ETA, I have since purchased new tires.)
