New wheels for my z06

[Elganja]

I had been looking ay buying a new set of wheels for sometime now... I was struggling with sizes... stay stock? go with 19/20 combo?

Then this came along...

HRE540R's w/ gloss black centers. Stock sizes, so 18/19 combo with ~6000miles on them. Tires have about 1000miles on them (Nitto Invos)... all that for 3000 shipped

I just bought them last night, so I hope to get them by early next week. I did do a 10second photoshop job (scale is not correct), to see what they would look like:

will post real pictures next week once they are on!

I like the stock wheels better personally but I'm not a big wheels guy. I'm sure they'll look great on that car though.

Those are gonna look great, good choice man.

I like the stock wheels more. The crazy multi-spokes don't look right on a Corvette. 5 spoke wheels are the best for it.

 

[amdhunter]

NOOOOOOOO.
I hate those rims.

What about these?

Another vote for stock rims. In my opinion GM did a decent job for Corvettes in this department.

i guess it's a good thing I like them

i personally just hate chrome. I could have gone either way, mesh or 5 spoke, but i found a deal on the mesh ones first

They're not bad, I don't like the outer silver lip though. If it was me, I would have gone for the new Z06 spiders.

really? that's one of my favorite parts. I think all black would be a bit much

I love the stock wheels on the Corvette. The new ones are meh.

Not a big fan of aftermarket wheels anyway. My Honda Fit came with steelies and for a few months I had aftermarket wheels but I switched to original equipment alloys and I like them a lot more. Plus they're cheaper.

I like them. Good job

360 Forged does some sick work. I'm a big fan of iForged too, specifically the Imola style

Heh, they're not bad... Personally I'd swap them out now and then though

Sick car...looks like a batmobile. I personally don't like black rims unless they're on a black car.

that is hot... i was actual looking at some wheels by 360 forged, but they don't make their wheels in 18/19. I wanted to stay stock size (for quality of ride)

Heh, they're not bad... Personally I'd swap them out now and then though

I'm way to lazy to swap them in and out... lol

stocks rock ...

 

[herm0016]

i like the stock, but love the black and blue combo. i wanted to do this to my TA before i sold it for the jeep.

 

[PricklyPete]

I'm with the "like stock better"...although I agree with you that Chrome kinda sucks. That being said, your Z06 is the sex. Love that car.

 

[CurseTheSky]

They're not bad looking, but I like the stock wheels better.

Then again, I'm also a huge fan of the 2010 Fusion SEL wheels: http://image.motortrend.com/f/17596972+w750/112_0907_32z+2010_ford_fusion_SEL+wheel.jpg. I don't know why, I just like the design.

STOCK. The Black center with chrome/polished lip is sooooooooooooo played out.

 

[kevman]

really? that's one of my favorite parts. I think all black would be a bit much

I guess I'm more of a stealth guy. I feel like the lip takes away from the size of the rim, makes it looks smaller.

I went with OEM comp-grays on my 08.

 

[SludgeFactory]

i like the stock, but love the black and blue combo.

Yeah I agree. I think it'll look good on your car OP.

 

[fbrdphreak]

I don't get this fad with rivets around the rim. Really just doesn't go with the flowing lines of a beautiful rim, or beautiful car.
