Whats are the widths on the Z06 wheels? Personally I think any chrome wheel will look good on your car.

If the Z06 wheels have a wider width in the rear I'd say keep them.

Personally I think the C5 Z06's are almost as played out as TT2s. I think the IROC's look better, and if you really wanted wider wheels/tire, you can have them widened in the future.

the car looks great as it is but i'm with several others here on the fact that z06's are a bit played out. i LOVE the iroc 17's, go with them; speaking of which, what's the price tag on that stack in the picture (for future reference)?

That set is 939.00 plus shipping on ebay. Since everyone is in favor of the IROCs I'd be willing to sell my set of Z06 wheels. PM me or I will list them under the classifieds.

Z06 is way overdone on 4th gens and I never liked them much on 3rd gens. I never really liked them that much, the classic five spoke always fits the 3rd gen.

In my honest opinion, Z06's are played out on the internet. When everyone gathers on a site with the same common interests, they tend to find one appearance attractive and it multiplies from their.

I believe the Z06 motor sport wheel is the one that gives the wheel a bad rep. I see those just about everywhere on the STREET but I don't regularly see the plain versions in 17's or 18's.
