c5 z06 vs. HP Lighting/Evo which do you think is the better choice for my car. I realize that ultimately it is my decision, and i have used the search button. I want some input as to whether HP's would look better or if z06's would look better.
Also, if anyone has pics of some silver camaro's with Evo's it would be appreciated.

Actually, although I'm generally not a fan of them, I think the thin spokes that are on it now look really nice.
Between the Evo and the C5 Z, the Evo, hands down.
While I think the EVO looks better on the 'Birds, the C5 Z just looks like complete *** IMO. It's one of the ugliest wheels out there, I really don't see why people insist on using them so much, Plus, your car will look like almost every other Camaro if you go with those wheels.
Another great choice, especially on a silver and black car, would be the black C6's with hte polished lip. I knowa guy who has them on a silver Z with black details, and they look SICK.

Go with the Evo's.....I just sold mine after having them for 3 years. The member who bought them has a silver Z28 and will hopefully get some pics up soon, SilversweetZ. The 19's look great, tuck nice in the wheel well, and the staggered stance looks great on the f-bodys.

They dont make the EVOs any more and the widest you can get for the rear is 9.5. Not really a good choice based on that alone, but I do agree they look awesome.
C5 Z06 come in our offset (120.65) and the HP EVOs arent really intended for our cars (120.00 offset). Plus you can get any finish out there for the C5 Z06, and they come nice & wide for the rears.
The other option I would look at would be the C6 (not z06) 5 star rims. Black chrome would look the best for the silver car, or gunmetal.

I still believe that the rpm 505s are a bit different then the HP EVO. I know the bolts are not on the 505s but there are other differences, like with the mesh and stuff. Could be just in my head, i dont know
