Heres a new set of wheels. They are stock offset and width. But 19s in the front and 20s in the back. They're z06 reps off a c7. Not sure about the shiny black finish but still look pretty good .

This is just a quick photoshop showing my base with Spyder's and would be my choice.
I currently have these below and like them, but would prefer the Spyder's.

Me too, they're photoshopped from this Z06 I had awhile back. I liked it and think the base would look better with them.
I may get them some day, we'll see.

I have a 2006, and the gumbies that came on it were nice. After a few years, I switched to the chrome Z06 wheels, and when the fad changed to black wheels, I just couldn't go there. I decided on a blend, and purchased machine faced black wheels.
Here are the changes.

4SUMERZ,

"I have a 2006, and the gumbies that came on it were nice."

Just for clarification. Those wheels are not "gumbies" they were called "star" wheels.
