Default Evo's/ebay wheels

I currently have polished Z06 wheels on my car and think that the wheels are just to common. I was looking around on ebay and found these. What do you guys think? Check out my car in the sig and tell me how u think they would look with my color car. Here are 2 wheels that I was looking at. Any input would be appreciated.

Are these the evo (brand) wheels that everyone talks about and drool over?

They are really nice, but do you really only want 8 in. wides up front and only 9 in. wides in the back. Seems kinda narrow, doesn't it?

I think they will look fine. I used to have that set-up on my car:
265s in the front
285s in the back.

Gave it a very aggressive staggered look.

Redline I would contact them and if they dont have anything wider for the back I probably wouldnt buy them. I somethin 10+ inches in back as my current wheels are 10.5 inch Z06 wheels out back. I didnt realize those EVO's were that inexpensive. Everyone talk about Evo's like they are the best rims ever. ninetres what rims did u change to? and why did you change them. So far I have had the stock chrome 16's, some Enkei's, ZR-1's and currently Z06's. I just dont think I am gonna be happy with any common looking wheel.

i bought my evos directly from 305wheels...and they didnt charge me shipping and had my wheels to me in less than a week. good place to deal with.

i have 8" up front and 9" in the back....it rides better. theres no trackin due to having wide (9") tires up front. ya know, your driving along, all sudden the car wants to hit the gaurd rail b/c of dimples in the center of the road that the tires want to follow...we all feel it. i dont regret the 8" up front as of yet.

I emailed them to find out if they have any other combo's. I think I may call them, I can deal with a thin wheel up front but I definately need something wider out back.

I was wondering that same thing. I know they say that 275's are perfect for a 9inch wide wheel but does anyone know if a 285 or 295 tire will fit on a 9 inch rim?
