I like them. Those wheels look much better than stock C6 wheels. Is that a body lift or suspension lift kit?

Just a stock C5 lift.
Thanks, I liked them right away for several reasons. The black looks aggressive, but the whole wheel isn't black (do not like all black rims), and so it hides the brake dust and the grime around the lug nuts. Also it has sharper edges than a stock C6 rim, which makes it look aggresive.

Dean, those wheels look great! I must admit that I am very happy to be the one taking yours stockers off your hands. You have been a great person to deal with. I just ordered some tires today to go with your old wheels and can't wait to have them mounted on my 99Z.

Well, I'll miss them because they have some sentimental value...LOL! But they only have 5,000 miles on them! You need to post some pics when you get them on your car.

Man you guys are BRUTAL! I'm lowering it already...GEEZ!
Richard, do you have to remind me that I sold my 69 Stingray with a 427 and side pipes?
Also, I just have to turn a couple of bolts to lower my car...Muhahahahaha! Chevy was on the ball, you can adjust it at the track. You just need a jack and a wrench.

And thanks to everyone for your comments, good or bad. It seems the majority of people like them so far. Most important is that I love them.

Yep, I've seen the early attempt at the replica C6 Zoh wheels, they looked bad *** on the black C5 they were on. It was a girl that works at the Woodland Hooters I was told, back when I went on the Vette cruise from League City to the ball park, then ending at Hooters in The Woodlands. Chrome wheels on a clean black C5....
