Default Gunmetal Z06s....Where?

I think I have decided on wheels for my PGM Z, and want to get the gunmetal Z06s, but now I can't find them anywhere. I used to see the mon ebay all the time, but now nothing. I want to keep 17s at all 4 corners but want 9 or 9.5" front wheels and 10.5 or 11" rear wheels. I can find silver or polished ones all day, but they are usually 17 and 18 combos, or 17s in a 9.5 for all corners.

But anyway if you could point me in the right direction of where to get them I'd appreciate it.

Also post some pics of your gunmetal wheels on your car if you have them, I've always been a fan of gunmetal wheels.

Thanks in advance

The widest 17" Z06 wheel made is a 9.5

You have to go to 18" to get a 10.5" width.

Damn that sucks man, I really don't want 18s or a 17 and 18 combo. Guess I'll have to pick something else.

No aftermarket wheel company make 11" C5 Z06 rims?

i believe if you want a 11'' c5 z06, you'd have to go 18's...i believe i've seen 18x10.5 c5 z06 wheels around

i think the oem argent z06 wheels would look really good on polo green

I believe the 10.5's are the widest you can get in 18's. I havent seen any wider then that for these wheels. Keep searching man, maybe someone will have them for sale somewhere.

Yeah I really don't want 18s. Tires are more expensive, and they are borderline too big on the f-bodies IMHO but the argent wheels would look amazing on my car. I might have to step up to 18s but I won't do a 17 and 18 combo it will be 18s at all 4 corners.

Thanks for the replies guys, I appreciate it

Yeah I know I can get them, but I don't want staggered wheels and need at least an 10.5" rim out back. I want to keep 17s on my car for now otherwise I'd just go 18s all around.

Do they make the polished wheels in a 17x10.5 or 11" rim?

You're not gonna find a zo6 style wheel in a 17" wider than a 9.5". They're not made...tried that

I've got a set of 2001 Wheels with brand new nitto DRs for sale...as well as a pair of 17x9.5s. You could find another set of 17x9.5s around from an 02+ car, having a matching 17" set and save alot of weight too...

Yeah I saw your post and thats a great deal but I'm gonna have to pass. I want to keep 17s on my car and need to go with at least a 10.5 rear wheel. I want a 315, and I just won't be able to run that on the 9.5 wheels.

Mabye I'll end up going with 18x10.5s at all 4 corners, but I'll have to see

Thanks for all of the help guys, but I'll keep searching for some different wheels now.
