Default C5 Z06 Deep dish?

I tried search, couldn't specific enough i guess cause it just kept coming back with a thousand threads lol. So, anyway. Someone makes a C5 Zo6 DD right? I could swear i saw them, and with everything else in DD now it doesnt make sense not to have a C6z dd. So where can i get them? Do they not make them?

I asked OE wheels about making a c5 zo6 DD, and they said they just don't have enough interest in that wheel.

I'm in your boat. I'd be all over a set like stink on ****.

they arent zo6, but they do have C5 DD, and from what this thread is saying there will be a 17x11 option available next year sometime.

^ Thanks, i am leaning towards those already. I just don't want to order them if there are some C5Z06 in the works, but im pretty sure there are already some manufactured. If they have enough interest in aftermarket 19's and 20's i dont see why no one would want them with a lip

I would love to have a set of c5 z06 in deep dish. I may end up going with the c5 17x11 deep dish when it comes out next year.

Seriously, I don't see the C5 Z06 coming out in deep dish since the sales have slipped so dramatically in the regular C5 Z06. The good news is we listened to you guys and have the 18x9.5 C5 DD coming in Feb 2010, and we are starting mold development on the 17x11 C5 DD - ETA 8-12 months.

i'm sure sales have slipped b/c of the other wheels being offered in deep dish.
c5 zo6 wheels are my favorite gm wheel ever offered.
BUT, i am very glad to hear about the new c5 sizes.

Thumbs up

C5Z06 deep dish in machine face (black edges) in 18x9.5 & 18x10.5 would kick ***! I'd buy those in a second!

Could you imagine how much even more awesome these would look with a dish?

They've slipped becuase everyone wants a dish! No ones going to buy C5Z wheels with no dish when there are ZR1 and Y2K's available with a dish. You're looking at it completely wrong. Your comparing apples to oranges. You can't say C5 Z replicas verse zr1 and C5 DD. You have to look at the C5Z rep vs ZR1 rep and Y2K rep. Musch more even ratio's! And the same ratio will carry over when there is a C5Z DD. It will sell just as well if not better, than the other rims you are selling. Also, the market is FLOODED with C5Z rims, who would pay you what you're asking when there are 15 sets on craigslist for $300 and 150+ sets on Ebay for $400.

NOW, if you offered the C5Z DD, people would have to order it becuase they couldn't get them anywhere else. The C5Z is the only vette wheel to be offered as a 19 and 20 inch wheel, and look how well those did! People like this wheel dude, and they still want more of it! If you were smart youd come out with the C5Z DD line and offer it in sizes from 17x8.0 all the way through 19x11.


Lance did you ever get my message about Con caved factory replica wheels? Cause that something else NO ONE offers but would sell. I never got an answer. Could you imagine a C5 DD Deep Concave wheel in Gunmetal with a polished lip and in 19x11? WHAT IS THERE TO THINK ABOUT? lol

That's not my car, but a member on here & as far as I know, nobody makes these anymore unfortunately. I believe they are 18x9.5, but not completely sure. They look great though don't they?

I would sell my ZR1s for some DD C5 Z06 wheels in a heartbeat. Was waiting to see if those would come out but no one made them so I got stuck with what I have for now.

I agree with this guy, make a DD C5 Z06 wheel and I would have bought it over the ZR1s.

C5 Z06 rims are one of the best cleanest looking rims on a camaro.. there is a reason why they are so played out. if you get the C5 Z06 you gotta roll with 18's. 17's dont look that good compared to 18's.

On top of all that, i honestly think they look the best on vettes over all other wheels. If i had my Z06 i would only have the Z06 wheels. the ONLY reason i would move onto something else is becuase everyone has them of course! Come on Lance, make it happen!!

Ah crap, I read their post and thought that they were coming out with some in feb. Dammit. I could care less about regular C5 wheels. Sumbich. I guess if we all make a stink about how we want them then maybe they'll make some...
