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. |
