Looking for a front wheel for a C6. Does anyone recognize it and/or have one for sale
 

Hello all!

Can anyone tell me which model Vette this wheel is originally off of? These wheels are on my 2012 Lt1 since I bought it. When I bought the car, the dealer that told me that they were from a C6 Zo6 and were OEM. I am now being told that they may not be OEM and could be c6z replica wheels. I need to find a matching front wheel? Does anyone recognize it and/or have one for sale? I belive the front wheels are 18 x 9.5. Thank you all in advance for your help and advice!

Thank you! I will reach out to him and see if he will be able to get one. I appreciate your recommendation bud

Comp Gray is the color or are they gun metal? Do you know if they are OEM or replica wheels? Thank you for the input bud!

Just watched your YouTube video of your GS. The wheels look like they are the same color for sure. Love your car! It is definitely Bad Ass bud!!!

These are 2006-2008 double spoke c6 ZO6 in competition gray

Thank you! That's definitely the one!!!

No problem. The OEM rims like that one are much better wheels than the replicas too.

Hold on, are we sure this isn't a replica? I see base brakes so I am assuming this is not a Z06. If it had an oem Z wheel on a base front, wouldn't the wheel stick out past the wheel well??

I would pull a wheel off and look at the inside of the spokes. There will be writing telling you the wheel specs, and you will see if its oem or not.

:iagree: Your pic shows you have a Z06 sized tire on the wheel, 275-35-18 if they were Z sized wheels and offsets your tire would be outside the fender without wide fenders. I would say it is an aftermarket wheel with narrow body size/offsets. If you buy the OEM z wheel you will not be happy.

It is an LT1 base. The tires sit flush with the factory base fenders on the front. I have the extreme wide body quarters on the rear so the tires are really set in without using spacers. (picture of it below)

A Z06 size 18x9.5" fits the front of a base just fine, but just can't use Z06 size tires. I run a Z06 size up front and works just fine with a 255 tire. But yes he could definitely check. Pull the wheel and it should have a Speedline label stamped on the back inside of the wheel. But even it is not OEM he should probably measure it.

I am going to pull the wheel and check what is stamped behind it. Thank you very much for the info!

I dunno man, your tires look like they are outside the fender in that pic to me. I ran z06 fronts and tires on mine at one point when I had just the rear widebody and they stuck out. If you take a pic head on from the front, I am sure you will see they do stick out.

They do actually stick out a tiny bit but it doesn't rub at all. I am planning on doing a wide body front as well eventually.

Here is what happens if you try installing OEM GS / Z06 wheels and tires on a Base C6:
