I'm lightly considering new wheels in the coming months. I like factory look, and under $1,000 would be great, so I'm thinking Z06 replicas. It seems Florida Speed Shop and House of Wheels are the go-to's for OE style replicas. However, they only offer the aforementioned wheels in chrome and black - neither of which I like; I want silver or gray! Not looking to do any suspension mods.

Thoughts or suggestions?

House of Wheels and Florida Speed Shop both confirmed that the Z06 replicas are only offered in black and chrome. Bummer...

Thank you for the link! Might consider buying the wheels anyway, then plasti dip to try out some colors. Not really a fan of plasti dip for other than testing things out, tho.

I have black chrome early C6 Z06 style wheels on my '07. I have been thinking of having them powder coated, but I have looked at the PlastiDip. Since those threads in the link above at 2 years old, you may want to check out the PlastiDip site. They have a lot of different wheel kits in different colors, not just the original black. I also found on a post here a product called Superwrap. They say it is a vinyl product and is removable. I did a search on YouTube for the Superwrap and I did see one video where the person said that it is more like paint when appling so it will run if you get it to heavy. PlastiDip is much more for giving.

Sorry forget to post my current Black Chrome wheels

Those look pretty sweet man!!

So you have the Z06 rear fenders? Is your ride height stock?

I am concerned that the Z06 replica wheels won't look good on my stock ride height.

Are those stock caliper covers? I would love to put those on mine.

Also, I plasti-dipped my wheels on my Camaro and it held up very well. The key is putting it on a very clean surface and put a lot of very light coats on it to build up the covering. I put probably 10 coats and then the clear on top. They lasted over 2.5 years and only reason it wasn't longer is I was getting my Camaro back to stock before I turned it in. So then I pressure washed them clean. Came off relatively easy, but took some time. So if you are unsure what you wanna do with the wheels, it is a good option that can be removed. I

When those were taken it was at the stock ride height. Not sure why you think the Z06 style wheel at stock height will be any different then any other wheel.

No those were powder coated stock calipers, not the covers.

I don't think they will be actually be different... But you know how it is... sometimes different wheels and colors make the car look like it sits higher... Illusion based on proportions and stuff I guess!

Yours look great!!!
