High quality for Camara phone...... I'm more partial to the c5 rims.. For some reason c6 rims make me think of 3rd gen 'maros

Those look nice.
I've got some C6 Z06 rims waiting to go once the snow and salt are gone in a month. Not a problem in your part of the world.

Very, very nice. Have you lowered your car? If so, by how much? I like the way the rims fill out the wheel well. I've got the C5 rims on mine but yours look a little better.

Looks like nice weather for a 'vert!

My tires are 245/40-18" what tires would you use? I bought new rims similar to the C5's but a bigger tire would look better? His car looks better than mine.

I went with 275s for mine. 9.5" will accomodate 285s but last time I upsized, I wasn't happy with how it drove. You can go to 295 on the rear if you have 10" width rims.

That link will give you tons of info on what fits.

i have the same wheels and i have 275's on them, 245's are supposed to be for 8 or 8.5 inch rims but since he got them from a friend i kinda figured that he is gonna change them later
