im having alot of trouble finding a nice looking rim in 17x11 (or close) other than the old ZR-1's anyone have suggestions?

 

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Keep searching.

I'd suggest looking into some of the less mass produced like many of the billet wheel companies offerings. That way you don't look like everyone else.

 

i really like the Z06 look, ive never seen them on a third gen in person, so im not too worried about looking like everyone else.

 

i think there are way too many thirdgens with corvette wheels, c5 and c6. But i myself will say its hard to find a good looking wheel that isnt overproduced and overused.

 

suggestions? sure.. have you looked at 17x10? There is alot of options available with a 10" rim plus it is alot harder to run a 11" rim on thirdgens unless you mini-tub or have them stick out.

my rims on the rear, for example, are 17x10

 

I too feel that vette wheels are getting almost as overly used as TT2's. I've seen the Z06 wheels in person on a bird, and I didn't like it. I've seen them on a maro and they looked pretty good. - The color of the car, the ride height, the tire sizes used, the offsets used, etc, etc, etc all vary what the outcome.
Wheels should be selected to fit the over-all package. No matter how pretty of a wheel you find, if it's not sized properly for the look of the car it will look goofy.(ie 15x4 telstars........on the back)

I'd check into billet specialties, boyd coddington, intro, fikse(ca-ching), just to name a few. As I said, if you want it to truly look good, find something a bit unique, otherwise it looks just like so-an-so's car.

 

I have to agree about the over use... then i also had to laugh cause i have looked around the streets and have never seen ZO6 wheels on a maro (almost thought you were the lucky one). Then i noticed your location and realized that if you saw ZO6 wheels on a third gen the you prolly saw mine except i dont have 11's on the rear. If you would like i will get pics up when i get to work... LOL.. sorry, please carry on............

 

i have both zr1's and zo6's i like both

 

i really like those Z06 rims, and ive actually seen them in 17x11 before, guess i should have jumped on that... sweet car by the way, love the grey

 

thanks,i put the zr1's on about 7 years ago and then the zo6's bout 4 years ago.i may change again lol who knows.

 

noroxus,

Find a rim you like and have the rim widened.....just a thought.

 

im not a big fan of widening rims, i dont feel like having my rims crack in half.

 

well if you dont buy a cast wheel you wont have that problem now will you?

 

There are a few reputable shops that do a good job and stand by their work (www.weldcraftwheels.com).

Just a thought..........good luck.
