Default What wheels for C6Z?

What wheels would yall put on a LMB C6Z? Pics?

I'm a big fan of BBS (RGR or RS-GT), but I guess I could settle with a Fikse (though I've already FM5s and they were too chunky), CCW or HRE, etc.

Pics would be helpful!

I knw I am probably in the minority here, but I think the stock rims on that car are badass, and would actually leave them on there. They look great, and are probably lighter than most (except maybe Fikse and BBS, which I know can make some pretty light wheels).

Those RGR's don't look too bad though. If you post a pic of your car we could photoshop them on for you, to get a better idea of what they'll look like.

I like the stock wheels also, but I have a set on my S2000. I wasn't planning on getting a C6Z anytime soon but since the Fun Police blew up her M45, she's driving my TB SS. The C6Z is the most logical replacement...

I'll try and take some pics once I get her cleaned up, and once the weather clears.

I think I've decided on the CCW SP500. I don't like the look of multi-piece wheels... Idunno.

I'm waiting for CCW to get back to me on fitment.

Unfortunately, John at CCW said they don't make a 20in rear wheel that'll clear the calipers. They won't have a forging (20x13) until July/August - I can't wait that long. Instead I talked to Matt at HRE and he's hooking me up with a set of 845R wheels, polished center and polished lip.

Now i need ideas of what to put in the center cap.

Out of those choices, I like the 547R the best.

The bottom one appears to be the c21. I wouldn't have said this if I didn't see the pic, but I really like the 842.

547r's or 845, something with a five star design would look badass since the factory look was already clean. that black one with the 547's' looks amazing
