C6 Rims
Before anybody says anything, I've been searching for about 30 mins and cant find anything. Im thinking about getting some C6 chrome wheels and was wondering if anybody has a picture of them on a third gen just so I can see what they look like before I get them. I'm worried the spokes might look too thin on a thirdgen. Thanks!

I searched "C6 Rims" on this board, and these were right at the top:

oh and another thing, the rear wheels are 20 inch, i hope that wont give the car a rake. how much lower profile can you go in the back... i wonder if 4 front wheels would work
EDIT: you can get 19x10.5, still seems a little too big for my tastes

what size tires did you get? it will mess up your speedo if you dont get the same overall diameter. i just saw an auction for 17x8.5 and 18x10.5 wheels, if i get wheels, those would be it
would 17x8.5 be too wide up front? dont the tires rub even if you have 255/50/16 tires up front

And for you Canadian Third GENERS my wife found this place where we bought the wheels and tires (wheels mounted, balanced, free shipping "at least in B.C." and free tire wrench)

17x9.5 is the widest you can get i believe
EDIT: i just got an email back from Bones Enterprises (they sell the C6 wheels in many variations on ebay) and they gave me a link eBay Motors: 17 CORVETTE CAMARO FIREBIRD CHROME C6 RIMS WHEELS TIRES (item 250013954645 end time Aug-30-06 19:35:18 PDT) this seems like a very good option for me (17x8.5 front, 17x9.5 rear) im going to ask if i can get them without tires mouted because im sure i can find tires on my own and more suitable to my needs. would these rub up front? 17x8.5 with a 255/45/17????

I just ordered the c6 package from bones as well.
I am very concerned about the unsprung weight of these rims. I have seen on the corvette boards that these wheels are very heavy compared to stock camaro rims. Has anyone noticed a bit of performance loss in acceleration with these wheels? If these rims are even 10lbs heavier that is 10 x 4 wheels times 4 = 160lbs weight increase to your car. I think that they look great but i dont want any performane loss. I wish I would have looked into this a little more before I purchased.
