I am looking for photos of LeMans blue base cars with custom wheels. I have looked at most of the posts on the forum but many are pretty old and the photo links are gone. I am considering purchasing some custom wheels for my car and I would like to see what some of the other wheels/color combinations look like. I am mainly interested in custom wheels such as Forgestar, HRE, etc. I can find plenty of pictures of the reproduction wheels and have seen most all of them in person. I was just at the Corvette Funfest show and out of the hundreds of C6's there, there were only 3 or 4 that I saw with custom wheels. Most had stock or reproduction wheels. I have the stock chrome 5 spokes on there now, which look good but look the same as every other base C6. I am most curious to see what some other finish colors would look like such as bronze, gold, black chrome, etc. I do like the looks of the C7 Z51 OEM wheels. If you have any pictures of those, please show those as well.
Here is what she looks like now. For those of you who say "leave it alone", I hear you. I just like my cars to be a little different than the next C6 that I park next to.
Subbing because I'm really interested in the bronze/gold setups. Have been thinking about something like that for mine but the possibilities are endless and it's so hard to decide. Mine has IForged Aero wheels on it now that were on when I bought it. Definitely wanting something different
Mine had Asanti wheels on it when I purchased it. I had no idea what they were. Have not had after market wheels since my twenties. I did not like them at first but they are ok for now. Looking to get something new as a winter project. i have thought of having them re chromed in black. I don't know for now but something will change over the winter.
I have since removed the grills on the tail lights. Looks MUCH better.
to the OP, go to a website like tirerack or discount tire. You can view different wheels on "your" car.
I just did this as an example.
Thanks. That does help with seeing how the design or color will look on the car but since they are photoshopped, it doesn't really let you see how the finish of the wheel (matte, gloss, chrome, etc) really looks, nor does it give you an idea of how the calipers and rotors really show through the wheel design. Thanks for sharing though. I am sure that there are a lot of people out there that haven't used those sites to compare wheels.
I had matte bronze wheels on my dark blue car years ago, fantastic combination that I wouldn't remind repeating on a Vette. I guess I'll have to upgrade to a LMB ZO6 next year.
I decided to go with HRE Flowform FF15 wheels. I went with the 19/20 wheel size and put new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on in sizes 245/35/19 and 295/30/20. As you can tell by the first photo in this post, this really changed the look of the car. I purchased the wheel/tire combo from Graham Rahal Performance in Brownsburg, IN.
