[Richy]

Need a complete set of factory wheels.Anyone replace their stock
ones with chrome,etc & want to get rid of the originals?

[Tony B.96LT4]

Just so you have something to read, I haven't. In fact I don't even have a Z06. :D

Thanks Glenn,but I'm looking for a used,not chrome, set that I can have powder coated.

[Mike Campbell]

Why don't you just paint your existing wheels dark grey to match the brake dust?? ;tt;tt Or, get one of those plastic gizmo's that mounts inside the wheels that prevents brake dust ?? ;tt;tt Then you could get powder coated wheels at your leisure... :D

[Bill Burkholder]

Richy, why don't you do a search on CF for House of Wheels. They always seem to have take offs for sale.

There is a guy on the Corvetteforum, Bob from the House of Wheels, that buys and sells wheels all the time.

If you'd call him, he just might have a nice deal on some OEM Z06 rims.

Thanks guys.Got a set from Bob at House of Wheels.
Now,who votes for TORCH RED & who likes BLACK? I'm leaning towards BLACK for least cleaning.

I hope you've seen the results on other cars beforehand. Too bad they don't make the magnesium rims in your size. They're easy to clean and do a good job of hiding brake dust. As they get dirty they just turn a darker shade of bronze. Actually, I think bronze Z06 wheels may look even better than black or red. Think about it. I'll photoshop some pics if you want me to.

Thanks, Joe.I would like to see the pics.

BLACK!! ;sc

[C5pilot]

Here ya go, I just grabbed one of the first red Z06 pix I found on the web (Obviously, your red one is better looking). Everyone's monitor is a little different so use your imagination on the color matches. I'll save the layered image in case you want to see any other colors.

Black...

Bronze...

Red...

[C5pilot]

Also, if you are leaning towards black, I think they would look better if you leave the outer most lip silver/chrome/brushed to differentiate between tire and wheel.

Similar to this C5...

[Richy]

Joe,thank you very much for taking the time to do this.I'm leaning
towards the all black.Still have ~ 2 weeks to decide.

[Rick and Arleen Ball]

The Bronze looks GOOD!, but the Black has my vote.
Black gives it that STEALTH look.

[Richy]

Rick,black won out.DMG has the wheels now.Expect to get them
next week.
