Looking for input
Looking for suggestions for 18" rims. This car still has quite a bit of chrome on it, which makes it difficult to put a full pro-touring style rim on it, though I have been looking at some Boyds PT-09s or Two Tones. Also Forgeline S03s have caught my eye.
Any recommendations?

I think that cars that retain all their original trim and appearance are best with a classic styled wheel in a modern size. Think classic Cragars in a 17x8, or American racing saltflats, or 200s.
The boyd's have a very open look, sorta demand the brake and caliper be visually appealing too; depending on what you have there now.

I do have C6 ZO6 brakes going on it. So that means a custom wheel due to the caliper depth. That pretty much eliminates any American Racing or Cragar wheels.

Hey sorry, didn't click the link. With all the mod stuff going on the car that boyd wheel would be good. I think its the right track.

The Boyd PT-09 in a brushed finish. You should run 19s all around..

Brushed centers with polished lips. So they'll still have a chrome look to the lips which is similar to the trim rings, and a more modern face to compliment (and show off) the Corvette brakes.
