:eek: Very nice! What offsets did you end up running? I have been craving the L5-R quarters for my car as well.

I think it's the best fender out there for the C5 platform...very subtle and covers an 18x12 with 335 tire perfectly. I think I may even be able to fit an 18x13 honestly. If you want the exact specs get in touch with Jonathan at BC Forged wheels, he is a sales rep. i don't think they have done a C5 with these fenders before but he absolutely nailed it!!! He specced out the setup and hit it spot on. I think 57 in the front and 50 in the back...backspace for the rear I believe is 8.25. Not sure where the spec sheet ended up to be honest so dont take these numbers to the bank.

Again, call Jonathan and he will set you up with a fresh set of BC Forged wheels also:thumbs:

Ridetech or Forgeline Z06 with 315's all around, the woman I talked to at Goodguys says they will rub in front, but they also have different wheels with probably different offsets from stock.

Discretion and the roads in my location dictate that I maintain stock ride height. Wish I could go lower...looks good.

I see what you did there with the decklid Mark, and I like it! I have a thing for stickers...See MacBook....See home toolbox...I have a Snapon toolbox at work, not a single sticker on it. Sorry. HOWEVER, on top of it I have a nut and bolt bin that's covered. Now I want to do my decklid. Thanks for the idea!!

I just was checking out how it fits on the trailer and adjusting everything from ramps to tire stop to trailer fender removal to make for a smooth transport to the track (Mid Ohio) Wed. Can't wait.

Took the car out on the track for the first time.


https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...e08dc776bf.jpg

I love the C6 wheels in black. Are they the same size as original Z06 wheels?

I have a set of stock size tires for my 2004 Z06 and would like an extra set of wheels in black.

Where did you find those?

Great pics !

The wheels came with the car when I bought it as an extra set for track use. They are 18 X 10.5 all around for a square set up with 315 Hoosiers R7s. I have 2 identical wheels but in silver that are 18 X 9.5 I plan to paint black to match. It just depends on if you want a square set up or the staggered width. I don't know if they make them in 17" dia to match factory C5 or to use current tire sizes.

I found a set of wheels in stock C5 Z06 size that uses the stock size tires of which I have an extra set.

Thanks.

Merica! :salute:

Absolutly beautiful car !

Nice. Is your car red or black? The color combo on those wheels is a nice look.

The 2004 Z16 only came in blue.

I am going to have the original wheels repolished and then mount my extra set of tires on them. Nice to have two sets of wheels to choose from.

New wheels mounted and balanced. Sexier than socks on a rooster.

Chevrolet should have put black wheels on this model from the factory.

Stock wheels going to have curb rash repaired and repolished. Nice to have two separate sets of tires and wheels.

No the old wheels are not for sale.

Nice!!! Are the ones you have 17 x 9.5 (Front) and 18 x 10.5 (Rear)? I'm assuming they're black with the red stripe on the rim. Might be interested in them.

I do not have any tires or wheels for sale.

He's not selling anything. Your post makes no sense.

I had to temporarily take you off my ignore list to read your post.

Now read my post slowly and you will see I am not selling anything. Ok Sparky?

Back to the ignore list you go.

I think he was being sarcastic.

There's a very good reason I ignore this person.

I could tell what he was being, it wasn't sarcasm.

Thanks just the same.

I apologize for starting the whole wheel issue. I totally misread your post and thought you had an extra set. I realized now that wasn't the case. Didn't mean it to escalate into something bigger.

Really sorry.

No problem dream616, I have that other guy back on my ignore list so I don't have to read his childish posts and he's never coming off.

Spent about 20 seconds snapping quick phone pics, then jumped back inside the air conditioning. LOL :willy:

New to the forum. Very nice Z06s. Would it be OK to slip in my 2000 FRC since it is kind of a Z06 predecessor?

Non-Z06s currently have quite a few picture threads available. We are trying to keep this thread specifically for 2001-2004 Z06 models.

Here is the latest picture thread for any model C5: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ours-here.html

No problem, thanks.

Great pic. Beautiful car !

This car sits in the garage and shops more than I get to drive it so now that I finally got it back it has been nice to drive on the summer days.

You guys with the silver and blue Zs are making me want one of each.

I wish I kept my silver one!

Well since I some-how didn't make top 10 for c5 of the year because I dont hard park my car in a driveway for pictures once a year, I'll just post here and say hi 😁 (Yes, Im salty cause puritans always ruin everything)

Thank you for your service. And that's driving the car like it's meant to be driven.

The contest rules said to submit one picture. So, because people submitted one good picture of their car, it means they just "hard-park" for pictures once a year? That doesn't even make any sense. What do you feel makes your car "Top 10" worthy? There are a LOT of nice C5s on this site.

What? Im talking about the pics that did make top 10 of their stock, plain c5 sitting in the driveway. What's special about that? The title for "of the year" means someone did something different and stood out from the rest. You dont make employee of the month by just doing your job just like the rest, you make it by standing out and being better. Point is, I have a feeling that whatever mods were allowed to pick are simply purists that don't like seeing anything different done. If anything, feel it should've been up to the people to vote for top 10, not a couple one sided mods, then break it down, since it is a forum for all corvette owners. Just feel that's more fair. 🤷🏻 and yes, there are a lot of nice c5's on here, but I'm going by what was submitted to the contest.

Thanks, and exactly! Lol

I agree with you that seeing a few 100% bone-stock cars in the Top 10 list was rather odd. A few of the pictures were really bad, too. And HDR pics are so 2010. :lol:

What did you do to your car to make it stand out? Was that the picture you submitted? I see an aftermarket hood.

Agreed.

Glad to see both tbrent and c5vetteguy in the lead. Both have nicely-modified cars.

Obviously the custom hood, interior is done with a half cage, sparco seats, harnesses, custom bezel, soon custom/jf customs interior, as far as mods, just kooks headers, texasspeed cam, blackwing intake, tune, custom exhaust, btr valve springs, and bilstein shocks w/lowering bolts. I know thats about average, but the competition was about pictures, not mods lol, which at least from all the compliments and neck breaks i get, i stand out at least a little 😂

@tbrent and @GradyBaby16 are my favorite that made it lol, gradys cause well, the picture is just perfect and flows so well together

Aftermarket wheels will help big time. I don't think there is a single mod you can do to a C5 that changes the look so drastically. My previous '03Z was definitely a head-turner, too. Quick Silver is such a great color!

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...c4bf1e0fc5.jpg

That's next on the list, looking at a few different options. Also plan on wrapping/dipping soon.

Bone stock :)

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...e354dd6c61.jpg

Revolant, I think your car should have made the top 10. There were a few great looking cars that were left out of the top 10, cars that I figured were sure things to make it. Its hard to capture every single detail in one picture, using my car for example, you would never know its twin turbo'd by the picture I submitted. Maybe opening up the submissions to 2 or 3 pictures in the years to come would give a better understanding of members cars.

I agree the voting should all be user submitted. It's a community, why shouldn't popular opinion prevail? I think it's ironic that the top three cars in votes by the community are the most modded since the cumulative 10 seemed to lean toward more subtle cars. I think only one or two are actually stock though. I see skirts, spoilers, brakes, and wheels on just about all of them.

I'm pretty salty too, but once I realized the this website's (corvetteforum) demographics, it makes sense. Its just like going to judged corvette car shows, stock cars with no miles win the stock class, and gaudy overdone cars win the modified class. Now with that being said I am happy that some of the well modified c5's on this site are in the lead!

They are not bad. Got enough grip to have fun at track days and don't seem to wear too fast. I'd buy another set for sure.

Lookin' good! What did you use to polish?

What pads did you use for each?

I am a huge fan of Poorboy's World products. Hard to beat the performance/value ratio. They all smell good, too. LOL! I recently went over my car with this line-up: SSR-2.5 medium polish (smells like bubblegum) with a Buff & Shine orange light cutting pad, followed by SSR-1.0 light polish (smells like lemon cake) with a Buff & Shine green medium polishing pad. That combo took out everything but deeper scratches. I finished with a coat of the Black Hole show glaze (smells like grape soda) and the Natty's Red liquid carnauba wax (smells like strawberry shortcake) with red waxing pads. The smell of these things alone is worth using them. :lol:

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...ee1bb02901.jpg

I did pretty well at removing a few random deeper scratches with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and a Buff & Shine microfiber cutting pad. Ultimate works as well as the M105 with less dust.

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...af58af6139.jpg

LOL :lol:

Man that Z06 looks tough! Nice job!

You know, I don't drive my car at night that much, so I never really look at my lights. Well, I was putting my car in the garage last night, and amazed myself when I unlocked it with the fob. The approach lights almost lit up my whole street. :lol: These are obviously LED bulb replacements, but all my lenses are tinted and cleared. I didn't expect them to be THAT bright. That makes me happy, because I was worried when getting the lenses tinted. Guess I have nothing to worry about. LOL
