Thumbs up Just put my C6 Z06 Wheels on!

I do not have the center caps on yet as I'm waiting for a decal set to arrive and I figured it would be easier to apply the decals with the caps off the wheels. It does not look like I can get the caps off once put on without removing the wheels so I'll post more completed pics after the decals arrive next week.

I'm running BFG KDW-2's all around in size P275/35/18. Wheels are Topline C6 Z06 Chrome 18 x 9.5 wheels purchased from TomZWheels. Former wheels were 17 x 9 ZR1 replicas with Kumo tires.

Sweet WS6! I love those in NBM and I don't see too many of them around in that color either. Your wheels look great.

I just hated that crap emblem on my center caps that the wheels came with and refused to put them on. At least the old decal came right off with a little alcohol and a bit of rubbing.

Hmmm...and how long have you lived on this planet? Everyone has opinions and just because you say something looks like crap does not make it so. Taste is in the eye of the beholder and if you scratch your head everytime someone disagrees with your opinion you will have a major hole in your head in no time.

I myself am unsure if I actually prefer my new wheels over my old wheels (ZR 1's). I had to get new wheels because my old wheels were no longer round. I didn't want to spend 2000+ on wheels. Time will tell whether these wheels grow on me or not but at least these are round

Yes, because ZR1's scream I'm bad *** and origional. Or maybe they make the rest of us scratch our head wondering why somebody would buy such a cheap boring rim. But even if we think your rim is ugly, we don't go around on every thread and say it.

Here are rims that arent chrome, maybe thats whats making you think they look cheap. Yes my car needs to be lowered, but I don't think how the rims look is bad or cheap at all.

I think they look ok on a nonlowered car but I hink they would look alot better on a lowered car. I am thinking about getting set but i would definatly lower my car with those on it...

The ground effects always seem to draw strong reactions. Either folks love them or hate them. The fact is they came on this particular car originally from the factory along with the rear spoiler. I did not like them when I first bought the car but they have grown on me over time. A lot of people think my car has been lowered and I think the ground effects give that impression.

I probably should have waited to post pictures until the center caps go on but I was a bit excited when I first got these put on and wanted to share that with the forum.

Like them, hate them, It's cool with me. I'm willing to accept others opinions as long as we recognize that they are just opinions and not facts.

I think with a set of big brakes they would look better.

I dont like em either. I prefer the "cheap/boring" Zr1's on Camaros. I hate when people try and "bling" these cars up.

Bling....eh...



I dont have a problem with people saying a rim looks bad, because I know its not the best rim in the world. Then again, I don't have 4000 to buy rims that I do like. I just dont like when people say their opinion like its truth.

Looks good man...thanks for sharing I know that feeling that you are talking about...i think that is why most of us are invloved with these cars. anyways, make sure you post up some pics when you get the centers on.
to all the haters (sorry, couldn't resist)
