Default Help me pick my next wheels!

I got tired of my wheels and am looking for a trade. This is for a Red Z the one in my sig. So far the three choices I am stuck between are...


1) 17x9.5 chrome Z06 wheels

2) 17x9.5 LG wheels

3) 17x9.5 Black Powdercoated SS wheels

Can't go wrong w/ Z06s 18sx9.5s and 18sx10.5s however you have the extra cash go with FIKSE or CCWs.

I should have been more clear Im not spending any more money on wheels, I am looking for a straight up trade for my 17x9.5 and 17x11 chrome zr1's...i like spending my money on performance, i just cant justify spending 2-3 grand or more on wheels like fikse's and ccw's.

I have and would really like a set just cant find the trade, but I think black wheels do look amazing on red cars...im trying to get the mean muscle car look with a berger, dumped duals, and i think im starting to lean towards black wheels...these black 10 spokes are tempting...im just really indecisive...

i think this car looks mean as hell...u gotta look past the chick though

my opinion changed when you clarified.
as far as buying any of those....no way.
Black wheels will be like pointy pumps on chicks real soon....old hat.
LGS are very cool....I personally think 17's are too small....but since cheap is the goal....those are best. Less common than either of the others. Leave the lip polished coat the centers black if you like that.
and that chick is freaking hot.

I have gotten an offer for some all black c5 z06's just too far away and no offers for any black zr1's if i get that ill be all over it....coating the center of the LG's black would be badass I wonder what that would run? Could just the center be powdercoated how would you go about that?

If you're going to trade I would get the LG's. I think by putting 3 choices it makes it look like you're going to buy em.

I think the LG's are a classic and more affordable. He would have put up Fikse, iforged, and CCW's if those were options for him. We would all love to pimp those.

Man the ZR1s are timeless. If you don't have them already buy some 11's for the rear. Your cars whole attitude will change and black zr1's for even more attitude change.

I don't like the Z06's in 17's. They just don't look right when compared to a 18in z06.

I would keep your current ZR1's. If you are content on changing them, those powder coated 10 spokes look good, but I would definitely widen the rears and make it different.
