Default Need some info on Wheels.

Guys I am looking for info on some Z06 wheels.
First off what does Speedline call this wheel?

Z06 Wheel

Second what sizes is it available in?
I would like 17x8, does Speedline make them that small? The 9.5 wide will not fit on my project car, '63 Nova. I did find replicas but I would prefer originals as long as it doesn't break the bank.

Thanks for your help.

It's a standard finish 10-spoke. C6 Z06 wheels are 18X9 1/2 front and 19x12 rear,. In later years they also came with 19F, 20 R wheels. There are no C6 Z06 wheels in 17". Even the base C6 came with narrower 18x 8 1/2" and 19x10" wheels.

You can check on the C5 forum for 17" Vette wheels, but the style you posted is not a C5 style wheel.

Thanks for the info AzDave47.
So now I have a choice. Replicas or BMW M-Parallels.

Yes I am aware that the BMW wheel is .0275" different in the bolt pattern. I will have to run spacers for either wheel.

Thanks again for replying.
