I love these wheels and really want to get a set but they don't make a 19" wheel. Do you think 18's and 18's would look wierd on a C6? I'm not liking the idea, but I really want the wheels. What to do?

With the offsets the C6 needs the classics don't look right.

I think they would only look good if you had z06 rear fenders in rears, that way you can squeeze some 18x13.

I just ordered another set of CCW's for the track...not the Classic's but they're 11" x 18"s all the way around. Talk with John at CCW...he's truly an expert at this. If there's a way to make them work he'll do it. Believe me, if he doesn't think they'll look 'right' he'll tell you.

Classics would be my choice if available in stock C6 sizes. Why do you suppose they have not made them available in C6 sizes?

I had the 18" Classics all around my GTS viper back in the day and it looked great! Give JOhn a call he knows his way around out cars.

When you say the "don't look right" is that just personal taste? Or they
actually don't fit right? Won't work? I too really love the design of the
classics. I would like to put something (eg: CCW Classics) on my '08
coupe to match the wheels on my '68 BB vert which has Appliance wheels with the centers black. Any suggestions will be considered.
Thanks.
Paul in North Jersey.

CCW makes many classic style wheels for the C6. It is just the BBKs or C6Z06 brakes that require a larger offset.

Bump.

My classics are sitting on the living room floor biding their time before they make their way onto my C6. Just waiting on tires...

Any others out there yet?

18s all around I have been meaning to drop the rear a little just haven't. My front is lowered a little with the weight of the SC and parts.
Couple more pics in my profile. I have mt drs on the rear with the tire and the wheel it is close to the same height as stock.

Ditto. Great people do deal with. John has forgotten more than all of the current people at the Tire Rack I have talked to.
