What wheels for my nbm Ws6? Just got my new ws6, and I am wanting to change up the wheels and tires. The stockers are pitting and losing the finish. My car has stock suspension as of now, eventually I will lower it. I was hoping for some guidance on what wheels to get. I was thinking a chrome wheel, with a 10.5/11 rear. Any pics of suggestions would be great! Unfortunately, I'd like to stay under $1,000 on the wheels. The college life doesn't like the idea of fikse's.

Car looks good man! I have the same but never could decide on wheels. I like chrome or gunmetal though on our paint color. TTMs look good but are very popular. My fav is probably gunmetal Z06 rims deep dish.

Yeah, I was looking through oewheels. The c5 dd's are growing on me. If I would buy 17x9.5 and a 18x10.5, would that mess with the speedo and throw the abs off?

Man, nice ride, one day ill have a nbm just like that, as far as wheels, gunmetal/anthracite or chrome look best, polish looks good but is high maintenance and black looks like garbage TTM's are probably your best bet if you wanna stay under $1k and have a wide wheel in the rear (10.5 is perfect on TA's) especially if you want to lower.
Please, whatever you do, don't put any vette wheels on the TA. If that's what your budget allows, then save up for something different. 18's in the rear will affect your speedo but wont affect your abs or tcs so you'll have to get it calibrated

Yeah, I like them too. But two wheels have the finish chipped and oxidizing. I'd rather buy aftermarket wheels than just another set of used ws6 wheels.

Damn nice TA, Don't see that color very often.
I have these for my Firebird...2009 ZR1 Replicas

I have 19X10 & 18X8.5
I put Bridgestone Pole positions on them and their gonna stick pretty well.
