Default Just bought some C6 wheels

Yep thats right. 18x10.5 and 17x9.5, I'm putting the fronts on some 245/45/17 eagle F1 GS-D3's which I got free after my GF's dad got new tires on his vette. On the rear goes 285/35/18 Nitto 555's. I'll posts some pics with them on, can't freaking wait!

I got chrome. didn't go with the 19's because: 1. they do make them yet 2. didn't want to be the first one to find out that they don't fit. 3. tires for 19's are f'ing expensive (not really but you get the point)

I thought C6's had 18s in front and 19s in back? Are these aftermarket repros?

yeah they are knock offs, but they are made by OE concepts so I think they'l be pretty good quality. Probably not the lightest wheel but it'l look sweeeeeet!

Yeah, itching for pics. What's the offset? B/c if it's the stock C6 offset your car's gonna look funny.

offset is the same as Y2K vette wheels. Both wheels (Y2K and C6 are identical in demensions).

Hey...you stole my idea! j/k. That will look bad ***. I was thinking of doing this, but I really want 11's in the rear. No taller than 18".

11's would look sick sticking out of the wheel wells like that. I'm hoping my 285's will stick out a little bit, I love that look!
