Default Show me your 19/20 wheel combinations on C6 Non-Z06 Vettes

I am trying to decide about changing my setup on my 08, but would like to see some of the great mods that forum members have made with wheels. Oh, especially if the wheels are chrome. I am more of a fan of polished wheels but, due to my health, I can not keep up with the polishing required to keep them standing tall.

So, please share...

Here's a pic of some CCW's that are made up the highway from me. I wish they offered a "location discount". I love their stuff.

Quite the contrary! Much more improved with non-run-flats and more gripping rubber on the road!

I don't have any pictures because I made the mistake of buying the stock 18/19 combo when I bought new wheels and tires. One thing you will quickly realize is that once you begin to look at wider tires the aspect ratio changes which results in a smaller diameter tire. You run the risk of ending up with what I call the 4 X 4 look. If you're considering 30 series tires the larger wheels will help you to avoid the " off road vehicle" look you end up with when installing lower profile tires. If I do it again, I'd definitely go with a 19/20combo. It just looks more like it should.

Body Coddington Jr, BC10's, but they are no longer made (by Boyd). You can go to Boyd Sr, and get something close, or Weld Racing... Originally they were polished lip with brushed center, like below...



long story short, had a brush with a curb, and the only wheel I could find was polished... so I powdercoated them all. I just bought the C6, and its stock height.

Wheels are 19x8 and 20x10, 245/35 in front and 285/30 in back

The closest you can get to these are here
