I'd step it up to a C6 wheel! For that matter, I have my wife's stock '07 C6 OEM wheels that I could make you a heck of a deal on! PM me.

C6 rims look f-ing sharp on an F-body.

Got a pic of them or a link to some that look the same?
What color are they?

Tires included?

Thanks.

What is the wait for the old ones and why aren't you getting Z rated tires to begin with?

Just my opinion, but I think the Z06 wheels look better on Camaro's.

Some people hate the Z06 Motorsports, but I had a credit at discount tire and was a even exchange for 2 bad Privat wheels for 4 of these at $126 each. Plus I kept the other 2 Privats. I like em more than I thought I would.

I think they both would look good. If John can make you a good deal I would buy them from him. Then you could have more $ for better tires.

Okay, are they offering a standard set of C5 Z06 wheels or a painted Gun-Metal set? The standard's look terrible, and the only way to go is Chrome or the Gun-Metal color (as it looks pictured) IMO.

If you are getting chrome or gun-metal C5 z06 rims, I say go for it. I recently had to choose between C5 and C6 rims.. and I ended up not liking any F-bodies I saw with the C6's.

The wheels are factory painted gray. They have the OEM new 285 tires on the 19x10's (~900 miles on them), the fronts have no tires. I'll take $650 for everything.

Original deal came with h? rated tires. I'm not paying a ton of money for this set so I wasn't complaining.

Turns out 5 days after I placed the order they called me to inform me that they were out of the 1st style and gave me a few comparable options. I went with the ones pictured in my sig and he upgraded to Z rated for no charge for the trouble.

They are gunmetal grey

John B: Can you snap a picture of the wheels you have? I'd love to see them. I only request because I am pretty sure there are at least 3 different C6 wheels that i've seen.
