Z06 wheels on a coupe

"Fit" is a relative term. Yes they will bolt up. The Z06 wheels and tires are wider than the base car and the offsets are different which pushes them even further out. So you could use them but you run the risk of damaging the fenders if the suspension compresses far enough on a good bump, etc.
Here is some basic info with pics:

You can successfully use the front Z06 wheels with the standard base car front tires with no problem.

Just my opinion, but I think the chrome Z06 wheels are the best looking ones on the road.... But you know what they say about opinions.

I think that is what I am going to do unless someone comes up with a deal that is just too good to pass up. I need to get these stock aluminum wheels off this car as soon as possible.

You might want to consider Ace Slick wheels. They look very similar to the older Z06 wheels but are made to fit a regular coupe. They are 1 inch wider in the front and back but fit just fine.
Here's what they look like. Also you can get a set for under $900 I believe. You can get these in chrome or Hyperblack (looks like silver though).

BTW - I sent an e-mail to Keith at 1stratecorvetteparts as suggested above and he already called back with a really good quote. Thank you for the tip.
