Default opinons needed! c6z06 or zr1

hey guys what do you think, trade my black zr1's 9.5 and 11 for these c6z06's17x9.5 on all sides or keep what i got? couple old pics from this fall and some pics i found of the c6z06's on red. other mods i have coming are the SLP bowtie grill, red and black powdercoated calipers, some slotted rotors, and berger is on the car just no pics. also have black halos as you can see in the sig.

if i keep the zr1's ill put nittos DR's on them as the tires are about shot and they run narrow and wont rub on the 11s. if i go c6z06 ill get some toyo DR's as i heard they are more true to their real width and will full up the well better on that 9.5 rim.

if i do the c6z06's ill proly drop it with some strano/koni's some time next year hopefully, maybe next winter.

looks alone I'd go with the c6z06.

If you want the width of the zr1s more, then keep the zr1s.

My choice, c6z06

I have the c6z06 in the black deep dish and love them got them from OE wheel. But they recommended a 295 rear which is wayyyy too narrow for the wheel. Wish i woulda gone with a 315

i like the look of the width but it seems the extra rotating weight hurts top end and i hook up just as well on a 9.5 or 11 DR, im not pushing it too hard with just bolt ons lol. they rub everywhere to when i throw the car in corners.

yeah i have the 18 x 10.5 rear and 18 x 8.5 front with a 265 35 frt and 295 30 rear and the rim is the widest part. the front is a wider tire than the mfg recommends but i like the look of it better. ill try to get some pics of it later.

We recommend the 295's so we can guarantee fitment on the vehicles. The 295's are what the manufacture recommends.

Sorry i wasnt trying to blame anyone other than myself. The tire manufacturer had the same recommendation. it was just a learning experience.

just step it up and get 18s.

ZR1s look good in 17s, but I think most wheels look a lot better in 18s for this car...
