C6 ZO6 wheels... finally
Picked up a set of OEM ZO6 wheels for my 89 IROC-Z. They are 18x8.5 front and 19x10 rear. The first thing I noticed about these wheels is how light they are, lighter than the stock 16x8 wheels that came on my car. At least they feel lighter.
The only question I have is what to do for lug nuts? Do the corvettes use lug covers like our third gens? Since these are silver wheels I don't think chrome lugs would look right.
Spacers are ordered also... 2" front and 2.5" rear

Couple more pics with 2-1/4 adapters in the rear. Perfect fit even with sportline springs... going to massage the inner fender a little to gain additional clearance but I don't for see any rubbing.

Re: C6 ZO6 wheels... finally
I didn't even think to try my stock lug nuts and covers... I'll see what it looks like tonight. Yesterday I ran across some pics of those wheels with chrome lug nuts and it actually didn't look bad... but I'd rather keep it how GM had it from the factory.
Thanks for the tip!

Re: C6 ZO6 wheels... finally
I hate to tell you this but those are base C6 wheels. Not Z06s. I think it'll look better though since everyone and their brother has Z06s. This is a C6 Z06 wheel for comparison. http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...jKVHs6xxqg.jpg
