Paul, good call. I agree...stock 17/18 C6 Z06 wheels on a C5 don't look as nice as an 18/19 set up. The design of the wheel just begs to take more space.
Not flaming guys you have them...this is just a PPOV.

A number of forum members are running the C6 Z06 wheels on their cars. Corvette Garage is an excellent vendor - so you can buy with confidence.

Now thats the look I want! That is too tough! Now is there any problems with rubbing or active handling? Will it clear the Z06 rear brake ducts? and are those the 05+ spec wheels?

i do have the rear ducts and they are still functional. there are no issues with the AH related to these sizes.
you won't need the spacers/studs if you do not have the ducts, but it looks better with the flares.
these are the -06z and up size wheels in the rear...there was no -05z.

factory z06 wheels are 19x12 not 19x10.5.

You can't beat the look of the C-6 Z06 wheels on a C-5. I hope to replace the stock polished thin spoke wheels with a set of chrome C-6 Z06 chromes my '04 triple black vert.

I love my C6 Z06 wheels in Hyper Silver. I'm running 18 x 9.5 fronts with 275/35 x 18's and 19 x 10 rears with 295/35 x 19's.
They are a massive improvement I think!

Nice Looking Rides
CSEXTON - Question - how do you like the KDW's? I'm running Michelin Pilot Sports and need to replace a rear 295/35 ZR19, which they no longer make, so am looking for a good replacement for all around.
Thanks,
