C6 ZO6 Wheels on a 3rd gen?

Does anyone have pics of the new C6 ZO6 wheels on a 3rd gen Camaro? My boss just got a new ZO6 and I keep dreaming about how those rims would look on my Iroc Vert. Here's a pic if you haven't seen them yet.

they'll look good if you can get them in 18's F&R.

I've been looking at them for the past year, debating on buying them...

this is only a photoshop job, but the owner is buying the gunmetal C6 Z06 wheels at the end of April. so i can show you what they REALLY look like later on. and the color of the car is photochopped too, it's really a Flame Red car.

that's a pretty nice photoshop job! They look good. I think they sorta simulate the look of the original Iroc rims. Divided 5-star, but with open spokes! I've convinced myself! I must have them!

The actual Z06 wheels will not work... They are 19x12 in the rear.
I am going with the 18x10.5 in the rear and the 18x9.5 in the front myself...

Nevermind, stick foot in mouth.

check out www.skulte.com

Andris makes custom wheel adapters that will allow you to run the right set up (with the exemption of a 12'' rear wheel)

Tell him Justin sent you.

I love the wheel design.

But IMO, spacers are trashy looking.

I am not using the same size adapters front and rear like I have seen suggested. I am going for a 6" backspace, and on the front a 4 3/4" backspace.. but those figues are not permanent... I have to do some figuring on paper.

The wheels you had listed were the regular C6 wheels, not the Z06.

Incorrect. They are the z06 rims. The c6 rims are solid five spoke.

The ones with the rivets are the C6 motorsport wheels. They offer the motorsports wheels in C6 and Z06

Re: C6 ZO6 Wheels on a 3rd gen?

Stock Vette 97+ rear wheels may need slight more than 2" spacer on the rear for inner fender well clearance.
I ran the 98 wheels on mine with an LS1 rear and a 5/16" slip on spacer since it was really really close to the lower frontal inner fenderwell, right near the frame.

Re: C6 ZO6 Wheels on a 3rd gen?

I've been on the edge about the big wheel and low profile tires on Camaros. I think mags look sick on 'em, however the low pros look sweet too. Just depends on how you've done up your car and what fits it best! Personally though, staggered widths is a must.

sweet car! I just bought these exact wheels with a set of michelins the exact same tire size. Years ago but what spacers were you/ are you running to fit those wheels? I have a 4th gen rear end and it seems I can just about fit the rears with a 5/8” spacer. Did you have to roll the fender or hammer the wheel well? Thanks
