Default Got the new C5 Z06 wheels on. Check them out!

I know they are the most common rims around here, but its because they look good!

Before:










After:








Next mod will be Bilstein shocks and Strano lowering springs to get rid of the 4x4 look. Let's hear your comments, good or bad!

They look really good, way better than stock. Are they 18's all the way around? Where did you get them?

This is another picture that should definitely deter someone from getting a 17/18 combo, 18s all around looks GREAT!!! I have some 18x9.5 silver c5 z06 rims in the mail (got tired of the 10 spokes), can't wait to get them on my black Z. Nice car man!!! Now you just need to lower it. Also, usually I don't like the RS kits but I think it looks really good with the chrome z06s.

thanks for all the responses everyone. My next mod will be the shocks and springs and once I do that, the RS kit will be coming off. I have been leaning toward the Strano springs but I don't know if the drop will be enough with the 35 sidewalls. Any suggestions on the springs?

Very nice!!!!!! I just bought some Z06 wheels from a friend that had them on his Vette. They're the 17/18 combo though. I was going to buy 18's all around but i couldnt beat the price, $400 for rims and tires. My car is lowered 2 inches so i know it will look nice anyway. My rears are +56mm offset so im trying to figure out hom im going to get them on. It will be either BFH or 1/4" spacer. What do you guys think?

Looks good. But I would go with the KYB AGX shocks/Strano sprrings and not Bilstien shocks.

Why is that? I've heard good things about both, but I see more people with Bilstien.
