Default Pictures of C6 base with C7 Stingray style wheels?

Corvette mods has these in C6 base sizes. Just wondering if anyone has these and how they fit. Any profile shots and maybe how the fit under the fender?! Thanks

While several have asked and talked about C7 wheels on their C6, I've only seen this one member post pics of C7 Repro's, and you can't really tell much because everything is black but.....

To me, these are the best C7 wheel (base chrome) - I don't care for the Z51 wheel in any finish. These look nice on that car.

I'm a bit surprised ( at my self ) but I actually think these wheels are better than the original c6 wheels.

I love the look!

Here's mine -- 2015 C7 base wheels in chrome; kept my chrome C6 center caps. I just didn't like the "starfish" style wheels my 2012 came with. The spokes on these wheels seem a little "beefier" than the tapered starfish style. Just swapped my original TPM sensors into these and that was that. (C7 TPMS will not work on C6 cars.)

Can you clarify if these wheels are C6 size or the larger 19 front/20 rear size? If they are the larger size, does it have any affect on speedo or traction control? Thanks.

These C7 base car wheels are exactly the same size and offset as C6 base car wheels. 18 x 8.5" front and 19 x 10" rear. Just install your TPMS sensors and bolt 'em on.

I have seen a set of these wheels for sale at $1275.00 including shipping. Does that sound about right? They look fantastic. Thanks.
