Default Help deciding between three wheels

Going to lower may car with BMR springs soon and then order some wheels.

Having a hard time deciding between the DD ZR1's and the DD C5's. Both in chrome.

Another option is a set of 18x9.5-18x10.5 Chrome C6's. I wanted these when I bought my car (Before the other two were even made)

If the ZR1's, I will probably go with the Toyo or M/T DR's (315/35) in the rear and a regular 275/40 in the front.

For the 18's, I will probably go with the Toyo DR 315/35/18 in rear and a 275/40/18 in front which will have about 1/2" more sidewall than what most run on 18's (315/30-275/35). [If I got the c6's, I would go with a M/T 305/35-275/35]

The reason for this thread is that I am having troble between the three. Alot of people say the zr1's are played out, and as most of you know, the 18's have an added expense when it comes to tires. Also what should be noted is I do have the ground effects on my car.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Personally, I'd try and save up and look around for some other wheels. I picked up my HP split 5's for about $600 shipped and loved the look they gave the car. If I had to decide on the corvette wheels though, I liked the dd c5 but in the machined finished.

gl with the decision, wish I had the front gfx like yours haha
