Sweet... but why put a black centered wheel on a blue car? Doesn't look right to me, but it's your car.

Gotta agree with Brian here. I'm not a huge fan of black wheels on any car, but especially not on dark colored cars. To me, the black should contrast with the car, not blend in.

But...thats beside the point and is only my opinion which doesnt mean a thing in this thread. Congrats on the Z, that blue looks really nice.

Nice car.... i'm curious to see how your car will look like with those rims.

Personally I think some CCW 505's would look awesome on the Z06.

17" 18" and 19"

I've seen 19" C21s on a Porsche 997, they looked good.

Sweet!! Do you know what the factory rim weighs? How much are those rims saving you?

Blue, yellow, whats the difference, If you like the black centered wheels it will look just as good with just about any color.

I think the combo will look good. HRE's are some great wheels.
I'm fine with the stock wheels for now, but I wonder how those would look on Machine Silver. Hmmm...
