Default What wheels to get: Chrome c5 z06 or black c6 z06 with red stripe?

I'm going to order wheels for my Z soon! I really like the chrome c5 z06 wheels and the black c6 z06 wheels with the red stripe. Both are from oewheels. I'll be lowering my car and getting the windows tinted very soon. Here's a pic of my car. Also a pic of the c6 z06 wheels. You all know what the c5 wheels look like.lol. What wheels would you buy if you were me?

I'm going to vote for the c6z06 wheels. Those wheels on a lowered car will look great. I'm having a hard time picturing what the red stripe will look like on pewter though..Are the all black c6z06 out of the question or are you set on those two style of wheels?

They have the all black. I like the red. Just something a bit different.

Yea, they are definitely not something you see everyday. I've seen pictures of those wheels on a lowered black car and they look absolutely perfect. You should ask someone in the photoshop thread in the multimedia section to throw them on your car..

BUT...I have a biased opinion towards your choices though because I'm not a big fan of chrome..at all. I've always had black or gunmetal wheels on all my cars lmao.

Yea, I mean, I don't think the red line style will look bad, it just may seem like there is too much going on..I think all black would be your best bet, but I'm still curious of what the red line would look like on pewter..

Black wheels make a clean car look dirty IMO. Go chrome, too easy. If you want black wheels, just let the brake dust accumulate. You can do that for free.

maybe its a preference thing but all the cars ive seen, especially pewter and white cars, look clean with black wheels. I never thought they looked dirty? IMO i think if any wheel looks dirty, its argent. again, with gloss black wheels, i just dont see what you are talking about. chrome looks gorgeous as well so dont get me wrong. just my preference.

Chrome on Pewter looks really good! I just cant picture those black wheels looking that good on a Pewter car! Especially with the red stripe.

Chrome looks way batter than black on your car IMO. I also think C5 spokes look better than C6 on F-body cars (the spokes look too thin for our cars that look a bit porky)
