Can`t Decide on new Wheels ? I`m gonna be look`n at getting some new wheels over the winter & I
can`t decide on witch one`s to get it looks like it`s gonna be either one of
these :
OE wheels C5 DD machined faced with black 18x9.5 & 18x10.5 ( when available ) .
OR
HP design lightining`s machined face with black 19x9.5`s
Also if I go with the 19`s will a 295 series tire fit or will a 285 be better ?
Any opinions on either would be great
Thanks.

You know, those machined face C5's actually look pretty good. At first glance they look like a more expensive wheel than they are.
Having said that, seriously, enough with the Corvette wheels already.
Believe it or not, there are actually other wheels that fit our cars.

Yeah well thats why I was looking at the HP Evo`s too they are so
but I`ve heard they can be difficlut to get , we kinda have bad roads up here (afraid to bend a rim ) , and you can`t get a wide enough wheel for the back unless if ya think a 295 will fit ?I don`t plan on making crazy HP so it may be enough tire for me but I do have a contact who could widend them for me though , also my car is a firehawk & I wanted to put something alittle uninqe on my car too . . .
Now don`t get me wrong the DD C5`s look sweet , you can`t beat the price
& I would not have to have the wheels widend .
Here`s a pick of the HP`s I just want everyone`s opinions on both thanks .

And I`m not really gonna build a high horsepower car anyway maybe somithing like 400-500 n/a h/c range but thats way later down the road I`m
trying to make my car handle first , use my suspension as a base and work around that , but I kinda F`d up I should have bought adjustable shocks , oh well .

Thanks sstg , I do like the HP`s allot but how about from a performance standpoint , I`m gonna loose some rear traction with the 19`s & 285/35`s right ? But I don`t plan on drag racing or auto Xing it really , maybe once or twice
