C6 Z06 Wheels are on

I'm really happy. The hypersilver are a little darker then I expected, but over all I think the look great. My stock brakes don't look as bad as I thought they would either. The wheels fit perfect with the 1.25" adapters with absolutely no rubbing from lock to lock. Yes I know I need a drop

Enjoy:

I guess I can wait.


I must say though if my car had the newer GFX and spoiler like yours I would def be sellin my Boyd Coddington wheels and just get a set like thoses. Im almost shocked at how nice those look.....as im not a big fan of most of the newer Camaro or Corvette wheels.

I got them from lakeshore wheel and tire for $1469 shipped with tires. Add $110 for 1.25" adapters and you got everything you need.

EDIT: I got the 38mm offset ones. The ones listed that will fit an 84-87 vette, not the other ones!!

not bad..i like our cars with lipped rims but it looks better than most ive seen that dont have lips...however i think it does stick out a bit...your first pic is pretty apparent that its sticking out a tad...you can see it in the sides of the car but its not that bad at all

good selection...i would drop it an inch in my own opinion just to help swallow the bigger wheel combo but like i said it already looks pretty good
