Give it another week or so, there everywhere here. I see far more F bodys here locally with C6 Z06 wheels than I do with C5 Z06. I think the C5 Z06 wheels and even the ZR1s are a hell of a lot better looking than the C6 Z06...IMO

They have no depth to them and give the illusion of being smaller than they acually are.

Instead of upgrading every time GM puts out a newer design and taking a loss selling the older design buy the CCW wheels and never go out of style.

The truth spoken right there. I think the BEST GM wheel ever was/is the GS/SS wheel from the 90s. It's just so played out though...

ccwheel.com

And yes they will make you a set w/ whatever size you need.

IF you are serious call them, they are very helpful.

Add 1000 to that for tires, which they do. My whole setup was about 3700 with tires.

Yeah to give you an idea of what the difference would be I found a couple pics of a Vette. Same car, but one pic w/ C6 Z06's and one with 505a's. Yeah it's a Vette, but it's a great comparision.

CCW HANDS DOWN

Yay:

Its all in that lip on the wheel. The CCW's have a real nice dish, especially in the back. IMO the first pic above is the ultimate at showing how nice those wheels are.

I love my C6 Z06's. The price and quality are terrific. If you wanna spend an arm and a leg then buy the CCW's. Hell yeah they do look good, but damn are they pricey.

Seriously? You're down around OKC right? I've like seen only one f body with them and it was an LT1 TA. I kinda like the C5 Zs on the fbody more than the ZRs. my brother kept his set of silver ZR1s (9.5 & 11s) and wants me to buy them from him. for some reason I'm just not really attracted to the ZR1s. I'm in the basis of choosing wheels and right now I think I'm going to get TT IIs.
