I went through the same thing you are, I wanted a "different" wheel. Problem is, there are not many options for less than $5-6k/set for a Corvette. Then I really thought about it and, despite the popularity of CCW/iForged/HREs, I rarely see any of them around where I live, so I went ahead and went with CCWs on my C6. The quality/value/customer service is second to none. Here are some pics of C5s with CCWs on them....

Charcoal painted center/polished hoop CCW 505As:


Polished SP500 (my personal favorite):


CCWs newest wheel, the T10 (really looks great on a C5):

These are my 19/20 CCW T10s. I was out the door with wheels and tires for $3700. I know that seems like alot of cash, but if you go with most any other wheel than the Z06 wheel, you are looking at atleast $2500 for wheels/tires on a Vette.

When I first bought my car, I had the 18/19 Z07 wheels...which are different than the C6Z06 replicas...here are a couple pics.

i want these for my black c5 coupe when i get it. I was planning on getting them for my ta but it was stolen and now i want them on my c5 coupe. Im def going for a black coupe, but i may paint it gunmetal. Either way, they are going to be 19x8 w/a 3 inch lip in front, and 20x10.5 w/a 4.5 inch lip in back. On a slammed c5 i think they will look killer

Yeah, I sold them about 8 months ago...they were awesome wheels, and got alot of looks. For some reason, people notice that the C6 Z06 replica wheels are just that...replicas. Most people didn't know the Z07 wheels had any relation to the Z06 styled wheels. Just remember...they are heavy, and will affect your performance.

They're CCW 505As with some engraving in them. If you want them for a C5 get the CCWs (same wheels I have in my signature). If I were going CCW on a C5 though it would be SP500s all day for me though. I love Absolut's T10s but that yellow Z06 with SP500s... I just cant stop looking at it. I've gawked over that exact car for years now.
