Show us your less expensive wheels
 

Ive found many posts showing top notch, light weight, big money wheels. I couldnt find a post showing wheels, of a lesser cost than ccw, ect. I would like to see some pics of wheels in the $200 to $300 a wheel range. Thanks

Here ya go. $200 per wheel and I have a spare set for anybody that is interested...

I love your set up! I'm not as good with the camera but here's mine. I think these were about 250/wheel.

I think these look a lot better in person though.

Vetfeva2 those look good on that ride. Like the OP I love the expensive wheels but don't have the budget. I see some used C6 wheels in my future though.

:rock::rock:
Awesome. What size are these?

Sharp wheels!:thumbs: Are the available in chrome in 19X11/ 11.5/ or 12?

They don't offer this wheel anymore (thus the $200/wheel). But the set that I have is like the ones on my car, silver 19x10 & 20/12

Deep Dish C6 Z06 from JW Motoring

20s are to big, I need 19s for my 345 Drs! Very nice looking wheels though!

My buddy TorchRedRocket is looking for wheels in this price range, send him a few pics and PM him! He may scoop these up from you!:thumbs:

PM sent

vetfeva2 you're car looks great!

Love my Ace Slicks in 18x9.5 and 19x11!

Another vote for Ace Slicks. I ran this set for 5 years before installing my CCW 505As last summer.

[QUOTE=Blitzkrieg;1583060125]$800 for the set 18x 9.5 and 19x11

Brian, those look like they just might clear big brakes...do you know for sure? would be a nice alternative....:lurk:

http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/...psc05a4a1d.jpgc5 z06 sizes with big brakes. Not a big money wheel

Wow. those were only $200/wheel? I really liked the looks of those when I saw them in your other post a little while back. are they still available? I went to tirerack but didn't have any luck finding them.

I have a set in my garage but tire rack does not

All I have so far, TSW Interlagos, 18/19

Nice thread!

Got them from WWC for around $800.00 2 years ago. Stock sizes.

http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/o...tt/vette10.jpg

:iagree: and I love the wheels.

:thumbs: thanks again

I bought mine for ~$600 - so far so good. 17/18 C5Z sizes

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-a...2/P1000014.JPG

C5 Z06 motorsports, 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 I believe they cost around $900 back 8 years ago. They also come in black. Mid America as well as many others carry this model. They have held up very well.

Mine - TSW Nurburgring (hope I spelled that right) 19 and 20's

Nice ride!

What brand model is that front lip/black thingy? How did you pay for it?

I just ordered TSW Nurburgring today.
I got a great deal from a vendor here Speed Depot.
:woohoo:

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...psa078ec94.png

You're gonna love them - the quality is way above their price point...:thumbs:

Same wheels as James2002Zo6 :cheers:
http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/a...ey/SmartC5.jpg

Bought tires and wheels from The Tire Rack and they weigh less than the stock:thumbs:

Dont look the same as james2002z06 but nice either way.

Man, I am really starting to like the look of those! Are the rears only 10" wide? What size tires are you running?

It's from forum member Quick Z06. It's a Corvette Creationz piece paid by pay pal.

Hey Jack! What are you doing snooping around a thread called "less expensive wheels"? :rofl:

Someone needs to
 

Come up with a place centrally located so we can just meet and show off our cars... I'm in

This thread boils down to ccws and rubber for $4000 or lesser priced wheels and rubber for $2000. This is really our most common 2 options. You either spend ,$4000 or $2000.

This thread just proves that you can have really nice looking wheels at a modest price. They may not be totally unique, but they totally look good.

The nurburg's are good too! Only reason I opted out of those is because. I wanted more of a open wheel. Other than that, great wheel! :cheers:

Pete your hyper silver are nice. I will be buying them in the spring. Discount tire told me they would get a hyper silver to view.

Luke, good luck with your future purchase. Think you will be happy with the Scorpions.

$$$frumnuttin' - Those Forgestar CF5's look really slick! :thumbs:
Got any pics of them with tires mounted, on the car? I still haven't seen any pics of a C5 with those wheels...

PURDY!!!!

:thumbs:

Well that is a sweet piece. Its on my list of mods that I want now :thumbs:

is it possible to keep this thread alive

I like them. I have never seen ones like these before. I have always liked a machine finish and they look good on the Z06 wheels.

I am not posting pictures of mine since they are stock wheels, but for those upgrading from wagon wheels, good magnesiums go for about 200 per wheel, and I bought a set of Z06 speedlines for $300, and a couple good sets of polished thinspokes for $200 for the set. (One set that isn't real clean for only $120 and I expect to polish them.)

Thanks, I love them. They are very unique and very few sets exist. In my area there are only two sets of them; my current set and my previous set that I sold locally. For ~$160, per wheel they are not only very affordable but also one of the lightest wheels on the market one can own without spending ~$3K per wheel for carbon fiber.

Here are my TSW Nurburgring with my new C6Z06 calipers and rotors. :rock:
