What is your favorite Corvette rim or wheel of all time.

I am split between the C2 knock Off wheels and the ZR1 rims.
I'm kinda partial to the wagon wheels on my 99 C5!

First of all GO VOLS!

Yeah I checked on pricing for these wheels in 18/19 and I believe the price was around $6,000-7,000. Which is really high but the resale on these wheels are very good.

I think I am actually going to go with some high priced wheels this time and most likely HRE. CCW makes great wheels but I really could only see myself spending the money on the "Classics" which they are not produced in 19s and I don't know how they would look in 19s.

As for the first mod definitely tint and will be doing a clear bra this time around. It has taken me two Corvettes to figure this out (both have been DD).

In no particular order:







Would not consider any other stock rims. After these, I would go aftermarket.

The Volk TE37 is no longer available in Corvette sizes. And those were probably Z06 sizes.

TR has the BBS RS-GT for the standard model C6.

NOT the "base" wheels. No Way.

I like the Fork wheels below the best of the factory C7 wheels.



Or C6 Spider wheels...







HRE has some great ones that would look good on the C7 also.

I do like the new fork wheels. I think they look very good and will look very good on the C7.

Order the no extra cost gray painted wheels and immediately swap them out for CCW Sp18, SP20, SP20a. Cheaper too.

I guess I'll be the first and only to say the first c6z wheels (not the spyders). zr1 wheels have way too many spokes for my taste.
