Default C-6 Z06 rims??

Does anyone like these? Seems not to be mentioned much on here. I'd like a set in chrome. I cant' decide if I want 18's all around or 17's up front and 18's on rear, any opinions??

I definitely want a set in 18x9.5. Just waiting on tax refund. I think it will go good with the firehawk hood I won off ebay.

I have 18 x 9.5 chrome C6 Z06's but to be honest I kind of like my old ZR1's better. Maybe it's the RS package and the color of my car. I've seen these on a silver LS1 and I liked them but on mine I'm not 100% happy with them. Maybe they will grow on me.. here are 2 pics. First is without the center caps and the other is a closeup but the car is filthy. I will be washing it and getting some better pics tomorrow.

You can't tell me that the pics above of Adrian's car look down right bad ***! I'm sketchy of them on my z but that's enough to turn me to them. Nice set up man!

I disagree that these only look good on Corvettes. I have seen these on a fellow members Silver SS and they look great to me. I also think they look great on the gold WS6 above. I'm still not sold on them for my NBM Z but I think your blanket statement is over the top.

I appreciate the comments, I think it looks great, but it did take me a couple of days to get used to them. They are 18x9.5 all the way around with 285/35 Pilot Sports on them. I believe I got them from somewhere in FL, I remember a post on here is how I found them, around $900 shipped. I loke your NBM Z with them, leave them on for a month or 2 and see how you feel about them.

I too like the look of the C-6 Z-06 rims; but I don't want to go to 18" wheels. The only 17" size I have been able to find is 17" x 8.5". Would prefer 17" x 9" or 17" 9.5"'
