Wheels

Wider wheels and tires increase the amount of contact with the road, providing better opportunity for maximum grip. The standard C5 wheels and tires are fine, but for the Z06, the Corvette Team wanted more.

New Wheels for the Z06

The Corvette Team specified wider wheels for the Z06, making the wheels wider by one inch.

The new wheels are one of the visual identifiers for the Z06, letting onlookers know this Corvette is something special. The uniquely styled wheels are the most mass-efficient aluminum wheels ever produced for Corvette. They are painted a light gray metallic, and show off the brake calipers, especially when the Z06 is in motion. The center cap features red Corvette crossed flags for added identification at rest.

For a distinctive look at rest and in motion, the Z06's front brake calipers have been powdercoated Torch Red for an eye-catching touch. Powdercoating enhances the durability of the painted surface, especially in protecting it from brake fluid.
