It will be interesting to see what the wheel offset is for the C7.

I wonder if anyone will try mounting a set of lets say ZR1 or Z06 wheels and tires from a C6 on there C7.

The C7 might look nice with a set of Z06 "Spider" wheels


Personally, I like the C7 / Z51 wheels

Definitely wasn't a fan of the ZR1 wheels. Those are likely the worst looking wheels I've seen on Corvettes since the 80's.

This seems to be a typical Corvette Forum conversation. Nasty from the get go.

If you are complaining about the new rims on the C7, maybe you should take a trip down memory road and look at the 97-99 c5 rims, I had a 98 those rims were.

I can't wait until these cars hit the roads, then all the nit pick posts from people who have nothing better to do will go away.

Some of these topics are ridiculous.

IMO otomic orange looks like rust, actually looks like the same exact color that the cobalt had, hardly orange in my eyes.

Put the ZR1 rims side by side with the 97-99 rims before you make that statement.

Nothing personal against the OP but corvettes do not have "rims"

Z51 wheels are fine, but the base wheels are horrid IMO. The wheels should be good on the Z versions.

This is a good looking wheel looking as good as any factory wheel on a normal factory production car

As they say, haters are going to hate no matter what. There absolutely no reason to be critical of a factory wheel looking this good.
