Crappy pic but you get the idea, it looks 1000% better than the painted 5 stars in my opinion.

thats a sweet car, but i dont think i can afford the zo6 wheels now but a killer look. i was thinking of some of the standard C6 5 spoke wheels, should have been more specific. thanks though.

05duramax,
How much are you willing to pay for a brand new set of C6 07 rims (painted)? Will have in 3 weeks when car arrives.

i take it they are the painted silver ones, the dark painted ones i dont think would look okay with pewter. i was looking for polished or chrome. i currently have the newer c-5 thin 5 spoke wheels and was just looking to change something a little in appearance. i was probably going to try and have my dad buy those for his c4. if they are chrome or polished, pm me and we can talk. new take offs would be nice.

I want to see more than just the side view. I want to see the wheels from different angles. He reports he wears 335 Nittos. I want to see how they look.

Okay, NOW I know why you want to see them.

If they are 335's than I want to see them too.

...from the back...
