Default Pics of regular C6's with aftermarket rims ONLY (NO Z06)

just like the topic says.. please no stock rims, no Z06 repro's.. aftermarket only. Z06 not invited (you get to have bigger rims than we do, so its not applicable)

C6 Z51 owners always allowed.

Maybe looking for other ideas..

This meets your criteria but is probably not what you're looking for since I've got the wide-booty.



Here's a pic prior to the change. These wheels are kinda like the stock only they've added the rivits.

I've heard that these wheels are on the heavy side but I sure love how they look on VR..........

That's a good point RED makes. You can really hurt your car by putting wheels on that are heavy. There are some threads on this subject if you do a search.

The black/yellow wheels I added in the picture above are lighter than the stock Chrome wheels that came with the car.

Yes, there are some wheels such as yours that are lighter than stock....my Crays are heavier than yours, but I don't think that they are near as heavy as some of the reproduction wheels that are around...and, as always, chrome does add weight. For me, I was willing to make the choice for chrome, as I do not track the car....and I still think that they look outstanding..everyone who sees the car at shows compliments these wheels....

I think as long as they're not 20% heavier or worse, you'll be ok.

I really like these. What are they? Size? Price? Forged or Cast?

These rims are CCW SP16a, great company to deal with here's the link you can do your research to hopefully answer all your questions.

http://www.ccwheel.com/files/home.php West Coast Corvette also sells them.

I like most of the wheels shown here, however I'm one OLD SOB" with a bad back to some extent.. & I (Personally) prefer to keep it as easy as I can to clean my wheels so I am looking but ONLY at 5 spoke... & they MUST not be heavier than the stocks...

If I could get what I had on my C4 I'd do it in a heartbeat!! I had Weld Wheels "Pro Star" 15x3.5" in front & 15x10" in the rear..

I'd even go to 16" or 17" if I could find Pro Star look alike's that are as light as them.. I don't want to hang 30+ lb on 4 corners of my car

I drag race, so even a 5" wide front would be fine!!
