Default Need opinions on wheel choice ....
Okay ever since I bought my Z06's ive been torn even still to this day
on if they actually look good on my Camaro . Im having trouble finding
and deciding on a wheel that would compliment my car really well .
Ive been thinking of Pro Stars (fats & skinnies) , and some sort of wheel
with a dish on it . What wheels do you think would go with my setup
best ? Or do you think the current combo looks best ? Any suggestions
are welcome . Thanks in advance Heres some pics (none are current
because I have the 6LE CME and removed all badging off the rear) .

Current wheel/tire combo :

Front - 18X9.5" wrapped in 275/40/18 Nitto 555's
Rear - 18X10.5" wrapped in 305/35/18 Nitto 555R's

I vote some kind of 5-spoke with a little lip. I just hate how 4th gens look with slicks and skinnies, I think it looks f'in terrible.

Definitely something with a deep dish. Fat and skinnies are fine for track day but I hate seeing people drive on that **** everyday.

Honestly, I think Z06 Spyders would look great... All black as well

Agreed. Fat and skinnies with a street tire is pointless. Kills the handling of the car and just looks out of place on the street.

i have to agree with DTR. the Iforged aeros definately look sweet on an fbody, and they would compliment the rest of your car perfectly imo..

Not too sure what your budget is but it would be nice to see a set of iForged Aero's. Maybe 18/19" with a nice lip in the back!

IMO, you don't have much chrome on your car so why not just powdercoat the z06 rims? it'd definately save you some money

Also amazing. I would perhaps lean towards 18"s though!
