Default help! what rims would you put on my white SS?

ok well i have z06s on my car now and my v6 for like 2 years and its a great looking rim but im getting SO SICK of them.. i want something new but i cant find anything that i want. And everything i do want is way to expensive (ccw, fiske) so i have been driving myself crazy on what to get.

i have had polished rims before and i do not want to go through that again (but i might consider it) and Im spoiled with 18in rims so i dont want anything smaller. I would like a larger rim with a lip if possible... im loving the cragars but they only come in a 18x9... and i also like the ruff racing 278s

so the question is if you had my car, what would you put on it? If i cant find anything i like, i might just buy 2 new 18x10.5 z06s and just stick with them

heres a pic
thanks

I normally don't like Z06 rims, but they fit your car well. Just get the wider ones in the back!

the z06's look really nice on your car... id go with the 10.5's in the back and possible lower the car a little.

I have the same issue. I have not found the right 18's for mine. I had the Z06's but the wheel was becoming quite common where I am at. So I sold them. I am probably going to save up for some iforge wheels. The ruff wheels have a nice lip on them and is a nice looking wheel. I also like the AZA Z01 wheel. Good luck with your decision.

Your car looks great as-is. If it had a set of Fikses on it, it would look like a Berger SS. How about something unique, get a set of gray 18" C5Z06 wheels and have them powdercoated white? Then the car would look similar to the 30th anniv SS.
