Default Got some new wheels!

Went from C6 Z06 chrome....

To C7 Z06 Gunmetal Grey! While I loved the look of the chrome C6 wheels, I felt it was starting to look dated.

So are they the OEM Z06 wheels that are prone to bending and breaking, or did you go with aftermarket clones? For the record, they look great on the car.

I don't think OEM Z06 wheels will fit on a Base C6 without sticking outside of the wheel wells.

Must be aftermarket wheels ...

Thank you!
These are from OEWheels in Florida. C7 Z06 style with proper offsets to fit a base C6.

Still like chrome(over 50), still do not like all black wheels (again over 50) don't mind black wheels on other peoples cars, I don't worry about what they do to their cars (once again, over 50).
Gray/Silver..... Almost like Beige....A real commitment to color!
