Opinion , which wheels do you think would look better on a pewter Z28 convertible. Polished Americans~polished Smoothie II's~chrome 06 c6~ chrome 06 z06~ stock chrome 16" snowflakes~or what ever else ?

I have chrome C6 wheels (4x 18x10.5 w/315s)... yet to be installed... my vote goes for those.

Man I love those big wheels & tires up front. Do you have any clear front end shots . Wonder if 315's would fit up front?

My vote is for what ever stock wheel came on the car. I prefer to spend my money on stuff that actually makes the car go faster, the stock look just makes it that much more unsuspecting :devil:

Unless you enjoy polishing your wheels every 2 weeks, or rarely drive your car like me, I would eliminate the 2 polished wheel choices pretty fast.

I think the C6 or C6Z wheels would both look good but would choose the C6Z wheels just because they are a little rarer than the C6 wheels IMO. Whatever you choose, be sure to post pics once you get them :happy:

from the pix up there, the wheels were polished 2 years before that... I polish them roughly every 2-3 years... they are nice... the key is on the wet-sanding process before the polish.

I initially had ordered the C6-Z06 wheels... but while i was waiting on the BO, i changed my mind and went w/ the C6... the C6-Z06 look more like the stock 10-spoke and are very pretty but in the end, i think the C6 looks more elegant and nice on the car... I'll post some pix of them next month when I install them.

I do agree that the C6 wheels look more elegant than the C6Z wheels. I think they are a little better looking wheel, but are more populated than the C6Z wheels as well.
