Default Best looking wheels on a C6 base vette...GO!

May have the classics sold this weekend. What wheel ($2k range) and tire combo do you think looks the best on base fendered C6's? Car is machine silver.

TSW Nurburgring rotary forged, wider than OEM, lighter than OEM, about $1200/4 @ Discount Tire, use base size tires.


2015 C7 Stingray will have an GM equivalent of this design as an option.

What about these Vossen VVS087? In your price range and some really nice wheels.

They come in black, sliver, and machined faced.

These are a forum member's car.

Sorry, these wheels are in your price range.........without the tires.

Maybe it's just me, but most of these wheels look like ****. I'd rather drive a Minivan.

Go buy one and touch base with us from time to time when you can get your head out of the mini van forums. Some of the new ones come with a built in vacuum which is a delightful touch of class just like your opinion..

I agree with "R&L's C6".. A month ago, I put these Gray Machined Face Cup wheels on my base Cyber Gray C6.. Had chrome Gumby's but liked the more subdued multi-spoke look of the cup wheels on the 2013 427..
