Re: yay or nay on these wheels
Nonono. The first pic is just a photoshop of the c6 wheels. The second pic is of the wheels I have now which are crager wheels and they came when I bought the car, but they arent the original wheels. It came stock with 16" iroc's which I still have.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
buhh, those current ones definitely need to go! 
as for the photoshop, its a little hard to see but are those c6 style wheels with fake beads or studs or whatever they're called? If so then go for it!!! there are a lot of members on here with c6 wheels (search will turn up many pics) and they look excellent, almost like they were meant for our cars more than 'vettes. the beads would be a cool way to make yours stand out.
I'm not a fan of big lips on f-bodies myself, lips look better with fender flares or on super wide exotics.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
Yeah, I've seen just about all the rides on here with C6 wheels. Every single one of those cars looks badass. I was originally thinking about going with a "machined" look for the C6. Now I'm leaning towards chrome.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
Yeah, But I'm not a fan of those. They look ok on some cars. But most of the time they look like something you would buy at walmart.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
I just drive it for now. I take it pretty easy too. I don't wanna end up with a ragged out car 5 years from now.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
I like what you have better than the ones youre looking at. Unless they make them with a deeper lip like others have mentioned. Look to much like a frontwd wheel to me.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
I say nay. I don't particularly like this Corvette wheel. I think their are others that look better. But what I dislike most is the 2" spacers you need to use to run these wheels. I think that huge space between wheel and brake look real bad.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
No FWD styled wheels (regardless of the Vette they came on) for my RWD car! If I bought a new Vette, I'd want to get deep lipped wheels on it, right away.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
I'm just trying to go with something different. Those wheels are just about the only style of wheel on the market that I like. Everything else is unoriginal or belongs on a "donk" 64 Impala if you know what I'm saying. And the C6's would look a lot better if the photo was real and not photoshopped.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
Dude, I have a 1/24 model of a 1985 Camaro and those rim look like the same once that are on it. Not sure if that's good or bad. My view I wouldn't put them on my car but there not my style.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
Definetly a deep lip looks alot better than the flush wheels, it gives it a more aggresive look/stance.

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
BigDRay,
Real sorry but unless you plan on starring with your Camaro in a hip hop video I have no idea why you'd want to ditch your current rims for those

I wanted to do 17s all the way around but the 18s are the only one with the DEEP lip like in the picture..IDK Ill try them they are cheap..I finally found a wheel that most of my friends/family like and there not $4800 like Fikse! Ill get some pics up asap

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
The $895 is for all 4, which isnt bad... As far as 275 up front, 265 is plenty big enough...

No harm or disrespect intended,but I'd ace those wheels.They look like Dr. Funkenstein's in the house.(IMHO). Hey, your ride, your money!

Re: yay or nay on these wheels
Ok how about these? Remember its a photoshop..meaning you cant really see the deepness of the lip due to the tires not actually being on the wheel itself.
