Default Witch Wheels ?

I’m in need of some Honest Opinions.
I had a complete set of Continental Extreme Contact Sports mounted on my Z06 OEM Wheels and then just a couple hundred miles later I got a wild hair and purchased a set of C6 ZR1 wheels and had Continental Extreme Contact Sports mounted on them too. I’m kinda missing my OEM Wheels. Witch ones do you all think looks better?

Tough decision, Both look good however I would go with the OEM Z06 wheels.

Witch wheels must be black. Joking aside, did you get rid of the Z06 wheels? If not, switch back and forth from time to time.

For what it's worth, I think the Z06 Spyder wheels or the Cup Wheels are the best looking OEM wheels. But that's my $.02.

Oh no, still have the OEM wheels with new Continental Extreme Contact Sports. I’m getting to old to be wrestling around changing wheels and tires all the time. Gotta make a decision 🤔

OEM 100%. Totally sets the car off and makes it pop in my opinion.

I call those black wheels Burglar Bar wheels because they have so many spokes.

If I had to choose between those 2 I would go with the ZR1's. They are 19"/20" versus the Z06 18"/19".

I'm sure if you were to list the 2 sets, the ZR1's would sell for more money and would sell quicker. That's an indicator of their popularity.

Best of luck to you.

I love original equipment manufacturer wheels which were made for its particular wide body C6. Z06 wheels for the Z06, ZR1 wheels for the ZR1, and GS wheels for the Grandsport. They all look awesome the way they came from factory! GM engineers and designers know their ****.

I'm not a black wheel fan so the chrome look way better to me. Black tends to look a little more menacing or stealth but chrome really sets the car off.
It's all a matter of opinion though, and at the end of the day the only one that really matters is yours.

Honestly they both look great. I love black wheels but think the chrome Z06 wheels look better. I usually hate chrome wheels in general but the Z wheels look awesome and makes car pop. Unless you want the all black out look.

My vote is chrome
