I guess I'm in the minority on this one, but I really don't like those wheels. They remind me of the '00-'02 Camaro snowflakes, only thinner and with bigger gaps.

I like them alot. I'm sure a replica company will come out with a set soon enough. West Coast Corvette sells them for like $4,500. I'll pass on that.

ew. Even if I did like them, I don't think I could see myself paying $4500 for OEM replica wheels.

Of course, a few years ago, I didn't think I could see myself paying $3000 for any wheels, and then I bought my DPEs earlier this year...

I like them a lot of the Z06... probably ugly on a F-body though.

True Dat MadIce, being that the Corvette is more exotic than muscular, it can pull off that wheel combo. On F-Body's, a lip is almost required, which is why the C6 wheel looks good on a Corvette but not necessarily good on a Trans Am. It's like putting Torq Thrust II's on a Corvette basically. - It jus' doesn't go both ways.

They are way nicer then the other ZO6 wheels. Those in grey might look good on NBM....
