I have them but on an 02 Z not Firebird/TA/WS6 Sorry.

You might want to ask for the photchop request in the Multimedia section. I'm sure someone there can help.

Having posted my pictures before I'm gonna bet the majority of users here will not like C6 Z06 wheels on the Firebird/TA/WS6. That is just my opinion. That shouldn't matter if you like them once you see the photochop. My mistake was I never saw them on my car. I liked them in the pictures but was not crazy about them after I installed them. They have started to grow on me now.

You sure can....





I just think the chrome is a little too "bling" for my tastes. They do clean really easily. If I had it to do over I probably would have gotten these in "Hyperdark" or "Hypersilver" but neither was available when i bought mine back in early Feb. Mine are 18 x 9.5 on every corner. I like being able to rotate my tires so I wanted 4 the same size.

Good luck!

TomZWheels. 679 for the set plus 75 for shipping. He is a sponsor here too.
Really good guy to deal with.

Thanks but I think I'll keep them for now. I went back and forth for a while but I think I can live with them for at least another year.

My tires cost more than the wheels! 800 for those BFG KDW's but I do like those. Much more stick than my old Kuhmo Ecsata's.

Oh and one more thing....If you buy from somewhere else there are wheels that look similar but do not have the lugs in between the spokes. Those are normally refered to as Z07 wheels. You might like them too but I saw one Ebay seller listing those a C6 Z06 replicas and they are not. Similar but the lugs are in teh center cap not between the spokes. Here's a picture of my buddy's C6 with the "Hypersilver" version from TomZ Wheels. Mine are actually made by Topline while my buddy's are made by Factory Reproductions.

Thanks man. I like them better now then I when I first put them on. My old wheels were chrome ZR1's and they didn't have quite the "bling" factor that these have. I still really like the wheel style just wish I had gotten them in a more understated look like Hyper Black. But I'm keeping them for at least a couple of years.

Just seems like you need to have C5 Z06, TTII's, CCW's Fikes or ZR1's on your fbody here or many people will trash you. I like being a little different. I don't feel the need to just "go along" with the majority all the time. I outgrew that phase when I turned 21 like 18 years ago

Anything really different in wheels or any appearance mod for that matter is generally frowned upon here by the masses. Just get the wheels you like and if you post them and they are not one of the above listed wheels, be prepared for the negative responses. I don't even mind the negative responses since everyone has different tastes but some folks are REALLY rude and nasty about it.
