Default New rims

Well since my rim is bent and it's a replica I figured I would might as well buy all 4 new. I just would like to not buy tires but I guess I could if I could fix my rim some and it hold out for a few weeks. The rims are cheap but good looking

18" Fits Corvette C6 Z06 Replica Wheels - Black Rivets-Deep Lip-17x9.5-18x10.5-SET

Basically $650 Shipped to my door. Yes I know you get what you pay for but these have been on the car for over a year and held up very well.

Let me know what yall think. I wouldn' mind going to 18/19 but really don't want to purchase new tires even though my Nittos will need to be replaced soon. Any ideas for other rim sizes would be awesome.

The 18/19" in that style will be offset for a C6, and you'd want to run a spacer on the rear to make them look good on a C5.

That's a mighty ridiculous (low) price for 4 new wheels. And if you stick with the same size/style as what you have now, then at least you'll have some spare wheels that are identical in the event another one gets damaged at some point.

Thats the main reason. I would keep the same size rims haha.
