New wheels for my z06

[Elganja]

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.

I agree... however, I had no choice in the matter...

Once winter hits, I plan on getting them powder coated the same color of the center

Rims look great.. you should color match the barrels.

I didn't know what the stock rims looked like. I'm not a car guy. I looked at the pic and the black wheels stood out to me. Really nice look. The stock look like shit. I can't stand a bunch of chrome. I can see why car manufacturers keep putting those ugly things on new cars. Seems the majority like the big chrome look at me wheels.

i prefer the stocks, but both look great :thumbsup:

Hate chrome myself. A guy who works in the office space above me just bought a ZR-1.. I hate the chrome wheels on it.

Stock wheels look much better. You're ricing your Corvette

lol... I don't think you know what ricing out a car is

Stock 100% the wheels you PS on there look like crap imo

Yeah I didn't spend much time on the ps... check the other link in the op... the car in that link is a lighter blue but it gives you a better idea

 

[thescreensavers]

I am very picky when it comes with rims, the Stock Rims look fantastic.

Even looking at the link I dont like em, but if you do that's great. The car is yours do what you like, but rims are something to show off right? while I don't personally like it many others might.

big dollars for stock size wheels is rather silly

I disagree in this case, I would hate to see him go Donk style on that z06. the sizes are just fine.

Make sure to save the orignal if you plan on selling.

I never look at a car that has aftermarket wheels. Majority of time it means the owner treated the car like shit. They put money on wheels, tint, stereo, etc.. but not basic maintaince.

A few reasons I decided ultimately to stay with stock sized wheels:
-Ride quality goes to shit with 19/20 wheels (stock is 18/19 combo)
-No sense in adding rotating mass
-Tires are twice as expensive
-The chance of bending a wheel (pothole and such) is very likely
-I like some sidewall, I hate the rubber band look

I wouldn't sell the car with aftermarket anything. You never get your money back and are much better parting out/returning to stock.

I like the stock style better, but I don't like chrome also. I would be nice to have stock style in matted black or gray color.

in before weak offset

 

[MJinZ]

Disgusting.

Your stock wheels (the one on the right) looks 1000x better.

it's a good thing I like them... lol

Well at least you have a Vette. When you put those nasty ass wheels on some stupid crappy car, that's when I go homicidal on those asses. :awe::awe::awe::awe::awe::awe::awe:

 

[SithSolo1]

While I'm not a huge fan of black wheels those don't look bad. I like the silver lip. Did you ever get that ding out of the front bumper?

 

[ponyo]

I like them too. We must have garage full of old men here since so many prefer chrome wheels.

That's a great deal for HRE wheels. HRE wheels with decent tires for $3k? Can't beat that.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Yo fool you needs some mo chrome. Chrome it up. Some chromed out door handles and windshield wipers dawg. Those blacked out wheels got to go. You outta see the job I did on my '94 suburban. I wouldn't be seen dead wit a set of blacked out wheels.

What is their weight compared to the stock wheels?
