Default BEST CHOICE of rims for my Formula?

Got some favorite rims for a LS1 Formula?! throw em on here! i want some pics of these sexy things! im a fan of the c6's or c6z06's, and like the pro stars with some big hoosier's on em. i dont discriminate if they look good. try to keep it formy's only. so i can get the best idea for my car.

.... well i hate to say yes. but something like HRE 547's or CCW 505a's are out of the question for now. lol under $2000 for rims and tires. thats ball park. i was mainly thinking like OEwheel's division. i was sold on the C6Z06 Deep Dish w/o rivets. but now im second guessing... again. lol want to see some badd **** sets of shiney 18's and 19's.

I know they are heavy but I love TT2's on a TA for a street rim.

Agreed!! Either TT2 or regular 18' C6 rims in chrome look sick on a TA.

These are if you want to go with something that's not been played out.
AZA Z2's (very similar to HP Evo's and RPM 505's)
18x9.5 40mm offset, Nitto Invo's 275/35/18

these are more my style! not really into the TT2's guys. they're just too vastly used. love them on mustangs (god forbid i say that word! lol) but i like to be unique.

I personally like Year One Snowflake wheels, I plan on getting them for my Formula when I can get the money.

thats not bad at all. only going to be $150 over the c6's by the time you get everything. i like them, but i'm still thinking 5-spoke. i bet their a pain in the *** to clean. lol
