so i got my new vette although the rims on it dont look bad im not a fan of them. i have looked at many rims and well i honestly like the c6 z06 rims i see they sell them for the 01 but i dont know how big i should go. im thinking 19x11 in the rear and 18x9.5 in the front these are a good bit bigger than what the car already has. do any of you think this would be a good or even a bad ide? does any one have pictures of this maybe being done?

Thanks BlackHorse Z06.

To the OP, I have seen a set of 22" on a C5 before, so you can do a lot with what is available. I like the 19 rear and 18 frt combo for that continued front a little smaller then rear look. plus if you wanted to in the future I believe you can go with a big brake set up with the increased wheel diameters, (Since I believe they need a minumium of an 18" wheel to clear I think.)

Anything over 20" is too much in my opinion!
