    Thanks for the info. I am not really looking to get wider tires / wheels. I like the chrome split-spoke look of the Z06 rims. I've got to buy new tires anyway. I have got over 23K on the Goodyear and I need to get an alignment based on that the front treads are worn on the inside. I am considering getting the new Michelin PS2 runflats. Most of the posts I have read have been favorable --longer tread life, better grip and less road noise. I figure I get the rims, TPS and take them to Cantech for roadforce balancing and alignment.
    I'll give CCW a call and ask what they think.
    Any talk of getting a group meet together before the weather turns and we put the cars in hibernation??

    Hey Chuck,
    Hope it has been a good summer. Can't believe how fast it has gone by. Hopefully we can all meet up again before the cars are put away for the winter....

    Anyway, my next purchase is new tires & possibly rims. I really like the chrome z06 style split-spoke rims. I also would rather get GM OEM rims. I know the z06 rims are wider and have different offsst (59mm vs 64mm). I am not sure they will fit a standard coupe. I know you bought CCW rims -- are they z06 width and/or were they specially made with the same offset as a standard coupe. I don't know if there is a difference in width / offset btwn C5 and C6. Any tips you have are appreciated.
