i'm looking at some black C5 replica rims for my T/A. Does anyone think 18" wheels will hurt me? I don't plan to lower it but maybe in the future, although I'm buying some LCA's and relocate brackets...

Also whats everyone's opinions on buying rims wider on the rear? Ex: 17X9.5 front rims and 17X10.5 on the rears.

I just don't know if I should go 17" or 18"...

Imo the bigger rears look way better,really makes the rear look far better,for sure go with the 10.5 rears it will be worth the lil bit extra,I hate 17x9s all around,get the wider rears,and lower it and you will be very happy,does anyone know if oewheels came out with the c5 rim in the 11 inch rears yet? I heard some talk awhile back ,but have not heard anything about them since

it really comes down to the wheel,I like 17s on most ,but some wheels do not look right in a 17,c5zo6,c6zo6 and there are a few others,what wheel are you thinking about going with,

Also what kind of finish,I like the polished finish a lot more than chrome,imo chrome just looks kinda cheap on most wheels,

If you just want it for looks go with 18's. If you're gonna be drag racing I would go 17's. I've got 19's on my car and they look great.

Yeah I would check and see I know they were gonna make that wheel in a 17x11 ,black is ok ,but I have had black for awhile,but it got old and when I switched back to polished I always asked my self why I went with black in the first place,what color is your car?

With the style of wheel you're looking at, I would definitely go with an 18" or a 19" wheel. Maybe 18s on the front and 19s on the rear?
