hmm im diggin the gunmetal color. Wish those would have been an option when i got mine from tomzwheels.Either way they look good and those rivets kinda bug me sometimes too,but for the price im not complaining.If anything ill just get the rivets powder coated black.

Thule, that looks realy good! I am thinking of the same set of wheels but "1 bigger.. but i dont know about the size.
Are you running stock springs on yours? Cant you but the rears on, and take it outside for a while snap some pics and show us so I know how it looks in "18

I tried "18 on mine but i dont know if i want "19 or not. =/ 18 would be beter for comfort but "19 for looks.

i had those same wheels, I ended up liking them after a month or so. They had to grow on me. But I had the 9.5 all the way around thought. I would still have them if they were 10.5

Almost thinking it's worth just buying some like black ones and painting them gunmetal.

awesome!! that car is realy simular to mine, they look better then i thougth, those are 9.5" all around rigth? my rear's have deeper lip,

this migth work after all, and not often that you see a fresh combo including C5 z06's.

but oh yeah, those damn rivets..

i had a black o.e concept GS c4 wheels, 50mm offsetm the small polished line on the edge, that just looked killer, i got those chromed Zr1's from a salvaged corvette, they are pretty messt up but repairable, thougth the rears migth look good on some drag radials

the sweed, my car has the stock springs a.t.m, but i have vogtland springs/bilsteins, spohn swaybars, umi control arms and more,its just better to have as high as posseble while i transport it a lorrey, damn nose sits so low that its a major problem to get it up to the lorrey

here are my beloved, not the rarest combo, but i liked it, btw old pic, before paint and exterior modds,
