Default C6 wheels to C7
Is there someone that knows without speculation if the offset of the C7 wheels going to be the same as the C6?
I have a very nice set of 15 spoke wheels I would like to use on my C7.

I've been wondering that too. I would buy some new wheels for my C6 if I knew they could go on a C7.

"Very Close" is perfect in horseshoes and hand grenades, but not so perfect for tire and wheel fitments, offsets, geometry, etc.

Inquiring minds need to know the specifics, because I'm think along these lines....

I love the 7 spoke wheels but after 240K miles the chrome is peeling and it causes an occasional slow leak that I have to take it back to the tire place the reset. I'm thinking about the ZR1 style chrome. Full set on ebay $799 + free shipping. Great deal especially if they can go onto a C7 as well.

7 spoke wheels that were about a $4000 option when new. They came stock on the ZHZ Corvette (500 Coupes in 2008 and I think 300 convertibles in 2009). It was a Hertz Rental car similar to the Shelby's back in the day. I use to see alot of them on the road a few years back but now I don't see so many. I have #269 of 500 and it's currently up for sale.

Really, hmmmm..... I liked the concave look and not chrome.
Perhaps this is more to your liking:

My C6 wheels do not fit. See "C6 wheels do NOT fit on C7" and other posts.
