Well depends on what you're looking for. With those stripes, i'd say some 17x9 and 17x11 Silver ZR1's would look perfect! Some ruff racing wheels would be nice too. Anything silver i think would look great. Chrome or polished wouldn't be bad either.

Since you already have the 35th stripes why not get the 35th LE rims?

If not how about c6 z06 machine face blk?

Nice car BTW...

With your car, I would get black ZR1's(17x9.5/17x11) or polished TT2(17x9.5/17x11) 275/40's up front and 315/35's in the back. My 2 cents.

Thanks for all the replys guys, I'm not a big fan of the ZR1's, I feel like there to "plain" looking if that makes any sense. The tt2's are really nice but I feel like 17's would look off, and I would have to go with 18's in the back. I've always like the 35 le wheels but there hard to come by, and I dont feel like paying $700 from gm. Keep the ideas coming!

the wheels you have look pretty damn good with those stripes. i have a silver car with black stripes and the same wheels and they look pretty good.
