I'm on a time crunch and need to locate an 18x10.5 C5 Z06 wheel in polished aluminum to replace one of mine that was damaged in a collision.

Originally purchased from OE Wheel Distributors, but my collision center tells me they only have chrome in stock. :cry: Does anyone know a vendor that would have this wheel in stock right now that I could purchase from?

If I strike out, is there any significant problem with sticking a chrome one on there in its place?

No significant problem, just that the appearance may seem a bit awkward as polished and chromed wheels look that much different.

I've now found a polished replacement wheel, but the manufacturer says this wheel has a +58mm offset versus +56mm for my other three. Is this a significant problem?

I'm faced with the decision whether to get a chrome wheel in the same size or a polished wheel with a +2mm offset difference. Which is the better call?

Can anybody offer advice?

Put 1 chrome wheel with 3 polished wheels?

OR

Buy a polished wheel w/+58mm offset while my other 3 are +56mm?

I'm not a wheel expert so my advice would be to ask one to see what the difference is between the 58 and 56mm offsets. If the offset is actually the mm, then I would assume that the 2mm difference would not be noticeable.

grab a tape measure and look at how big 2mm is...i highly doubt anyone will notice it...

You will notice a chrome wheel way before you will notice 2mm difference.
