c6 z06 rims.

hmmmm... yeah I'm looking at those myself.


personally, i'd go chrome... 18's in the back, 17s in the front would look raw.


maybe the ones i'm looking at are a bit different than what i'm seeing pics of.


these are what i'm all about

I'm also going to reccommend chrome. See a trend here?

First of all, polished CAN look amazing if you don't mind the upkeep. And you have to know what you're doing with them so you don't mess up the appearance (I know guys who have scratched the hell out of them). But look at the design of the Z06 wheel: very thin spokes, there's 10 spokes, and there's 3 sides to every spoke that will need to be polished. That's a lot of upkeep and work to keep them looking like a mirror! Chrome is as easy as using a soft soapy rag on when you wash the rest of the car. Dry them off and they're good to go! I know some don't like the appearance of chrome, but I've found that to be only the people who are hardcore detailers and take hours each month to keep their wheels polished. Go chrome and don't look back.
