What are the best wheels for c6
The first thing I want to do is get some nice wheels for my c6 , I want something that won't sacrifice ride quality but also looks good on the car. I was thinking 360 forged, modular concept, or HRE. I would appreciate it if you guys can help me out on this.
Thanks

ANY of the ones you mentioned would be good wheels but if I had to guess I would say that money being no object, HRE's are great wheels.
I would think that ride quality would probably be more affected by your TIRE choice.

Impossible to answer. Maybe the best are the factory wheels -designed & manufactured for your car. Like asking what is the best tire for the C6 -many different opinions. Good luck w this question.

The best wheels for YOUR C6 are the ones you like the best on your car.

Thanks for clearing up the ride quality thing for me. I thought it also depended on the rims ( sorry I'm kind of new to this) lol

If you want to stay close to a factory style, Spiders are about the best looking "factory style" out there.
If your looking for a "aftermarket look" you should go with what you like the best. Because your the one that will be driving the car. Just do a little research and see what you like the best.

There are no "best" wheels per se. Personally, I'm a fan of CCW wheels. They make a quality made in the USA product at a reasonable price. They also provide excellent customer service. I've got CCW wheels for the street and for the track and I'm extremely pleased with them. HRE wheels are certainly highly regarded (albeit extremely expensive). I'd start window shopping with some respected brands and find a few styles that you like...narrow your selection down from there. Good luck.

Good question. I've been trying to decide what I like best for nearly 2 years.
I returned one aftermarket set already. (yes, I'm a little nuts)

Cray Manta wheels with Nitto Invo tires.....but as several have posted, it's all personal preference. Just go with a recognized manufacturer so that you don't have any mounting or balancing problems.

I was a fan of the factory C6898 wheels at first sight (the car came with them). They look great on blade silver........ "Classy Look", they work for me, and the ride is very smooth! Sorry for the pics, just a new proud owner!!

I love the 15 spoke wheels that were part of the GSA option ( I think that was what it was called) in '09. As soon as I saw them, I had to have them. They are dropped shipped to the dealer but I think you can order them after market as well.
I noticed them in the Corvette brochure I believe, but then saw them on a yellow vert. I quickly bought the car.
