Post pics of aftermarket wheels on convertibles please ...
The wheel cracking got me too. Driver rear is cracked but still holding air now. Not even the last few months of 2019's coming off the line were immune to this to no surprise.
Not finding too many pics of aftermarket wheels on convertible's. Really torn and even having hard time narrowing it down to a specific style/spoke count. The lines on the convertible are a good bit different so hoping some vert pics might help me make up my mind. Thanks!

I went OEM ZR1 wheels. Not really "aftermarket", but something that fit my budget and a style I liked.

Same as above. GM OEM ZR1 wheels after two cracks in one rear and bending a front of OEM GS wheels.Had to go Carbon Flash to match the badges and CF package. Just didn't like the spider legs look of today's wheels. Happy hunting!

I cannot see why not look at wheels on coupes, as well; you'll have more choices and if you put your thumb over the roofs on your screen they'll all look about alike. All the best.

Here's a coupe with C6 chrome forged gumby's. Those were also available as polished aluminum.
Check on the local ACE forum to see if anyone has some you can see in person vs a photo.

Thanks everyone. It was a bit ironic to see the first two posts of the ZR1 wheels. I did not originally mention it, but I was torn between the ZR1 style and Vossen HF-2's. Those two are on different ends of the spectrum and just could not convince myself which way to go but was also open to something else might have missed. Seeing the ZR1's on a vert sealed the deal and I think its because the vert has less curves, especially with top down and the ZR'1 seem to match the angles vs. curves more. That is my theory and stickin' to it LOL ...

That's my thinking back in 2014 till I saw a perfect color and combination in 2017 sitting on a lot waiting for my hard earned Blue collar CASH

The ZR1 style wheels do look good whether it be on a coupe or vert. I have a reproduction set on my 2014.
