why are those the only choices? Look around, there are many many many different custom wheels around. It is your car, so its your decision, but I would look around other than on here. Pretty much everyone on here has some form of those wheels, so many on here that they look like factory optioned wheels to me.

^Those would look like *** on an LT1. My red 97 had 17x11 Gransport wheels and it looked great.

Take a look at them here. It's a Pontiac but you'll get the idea.
I'm not retracting my previous statement.

look around, the 19s that I have on my car were only 1600 for all four wheels and tires mounted and balanced. No need to spend 3000, just expand your options to get something that is different. If you really like these wheels than more power to you. It is your car.

We have many iterations of the c6 z06 but the deep dish ZR1s are probably our best selling wheels at the moment.
