Wheels for a Silver Coupe

Im looking at picking up a Silver coupe which has the wagon wheels that need to go. I am having the hardest time deciding on what wheels to put on it. Silver is so versatile and could really accept any finish color on the wheel. I am stumped on design as well. I do not want to spend a lot at the moment. I am looking for 18's front and back, prefer 10.5 out back and 9.5 up front. Could you guys give me input and maybe post some pictures to help out my decision? Thinking probably some vette reproductions, but there are so many styles to choose from now from c5 to c6 to either z06, etc. Thanks!

I am going to do the same and would like some pictures of C6 Z06 wheels "Reproductions". I am interested in 18- 9.5 and 19 - 11.

Looks good but the 17s up front just aren't doing it for me. Any others?

I have the C6 5 spokes. Get lots of complements and I like the look. Also saw some deep dish 5 spokes on a blue C5 right here in this section, they are sweet.

Here's what I had on my former car at one time:

The new C6 Z06 chrome wheels, black wheels, or comp grey wheels would look good on silver.

pics or ban, lol.

I am greatly thinking about 2 18x9.5 and 2 18x10.5 c6z06 motorsports with machined face and grey windows. I think this would compliment great on a silver car. Whatchya think?

That really is One Bad C5! Very Nice looking car!

Superman09: Did you sell your Trans Am? That was a Really Nice car too!

I'm Very fond of the CCW Classics (because that's what I have)! It seems like the black centered wheels are the rage right now, that's why mine are polished!
