I prefer chrome of course.

What's your budget? That has a huge impact. CCW 500's look killer on Corvettes.

Chrome Z06s. They look bad *** on any C5 whether it's a Z06 or not.

I sold a set of those to a kid in Louisville Ky off my old C5. I have a pic of the car witht eh 500's on it but the car is mag red not black. I agree 100% though know what you are willing to spend before you decide what you like. You'll like HRE's, CCW's, DPE's, and Asanti's but those prices start going way up quick. If you look into CCw's start around 2500 for wheels only, DPE is 2500-4000, and HRE and Asanti's can run you 3500-6000 easy for just wheels. But usually you will see alot of guys selling some good wheels and tires on the forums like here or www.corvetteforum.com. I sold my HRE 547's for 2K on thier a year ago and my CCW with tires for 3K i think.

These are 18x9.5 and 19x11 Z07 wheels...if you can't afford black I-Forged or some other "premium" black aluminum wheel, stick with chrome on the black

Here is a link of what CCW's look like on my friends C5. His car is white but it gives you an idea of how they look. They are 505A's. He is running 19's in front and 20's in the back.
