Default opinions about these wheels on a EB zo6?
Dont have big money for ccw's or anything cause the baby on the way but I think these would look pretty tuff on my electron blue z with modred interior. Im not a big fan of ALL black rims but I think the red strip would really set off my modred interior. What do yall think of these. Cant beat the price and there probably lighter than the chrome wheels I have now.

Just my 2 cents. I would not do it. I also have black rims with a chrome lipon a 2002 EB Z06. I-Forged Areos. 19in.

However those rims would look really nice on a black C6 Z06.

Not digging the red stripe.

With a vette I would either go CCWish wheels or stock.

C6 wheels have got to be the ugliest wheel out there for C5's. The only budget wheels I have seen that look good are made by Cray. I like the oem c5 z06 wheels over anything not forged myself.

Not a fan of C6 wheels on a C5. Save your money and put it towards some good wheels later on.

Save your money! Sometimes you can find some good deals on some used ccw's or i-forged. Just my .02.

No, I really don't. It is preference I guess. I've looked through maybe all the available wheels out there. The only budget wheels I liked were the crays, and they are still much heavier than most forged wheels.

Keep in mind these repros are crap quality. They weigh more and will not hold up as well in a wreck or serious road racing. I don't want a wrench made in China, much less something I'll be rolling 180mph on (closed track of course )
