Default WHICH WHEEL??? I need to make a decision by today or tomorrow

I have a black camaro(the one pictured in my sig). I sold the chrome 10 spokes, but can't make a decision on the new ones. Both of these wheels are for sale right now:

17x9.5 17x11 Chrome ZR1's in perfect condition
OR
17x9.5 18x9.5 Chrome Z06's in perfect condition

So, which one's do I go with? Pics of black camaro's with these would be very helpful too. Thanks

If you go with the Z06's go with 18's all the way around. Staggered set up does not look good on f-bodies. Staggered widths does.

Which Z06's? C5 or C6?

If C6, go with those, if not, go with the ZR1's.

Dude everyone has the C5's...I'd definitely go with the C6's if I were you.

Great price, btw. Nice to have connections!!

Why do you want them to stick out? That doesn't look right, IMO.

not really stick out, just be in-line with the fender. for example, i love where the 17x11 zr1's sit. that's exactly what i want. BUT i just found out that the zr1's are sold so now i have to get the z06's

im with ya man, i could never run another 9.5" wheel in the rear. the wide wheel in the rear looks so tight, and sits flush with the top of the wheel well. id go with the zr1 set.

Go with 18's dude. IMHO 17's are a waste of money but if your on a budget go ahead. Go 18x10/18x11

the 18x9.5 z06's will come with new 295's on them tho. and what if i put longer studs on and use some spacers to get them out a little bit? i have ARP studs and spacers in my garage that i had bought to push my 10 spokes out a bit.

Personally, I'd go with ZR1 17x9.5/17x11 combo. It makes the car look more muscular(musclecar).
