Default New Shoes?!

Alright guys, looking for a little input on whether or not I want to drop the $$$ into some new shoes for my ride. Currently it sits on 17x9.5 factory ss wheels powder coated black. I'm looking into some OE replicas c6 ZO6's in black. 18x9.5 up front with a 285/35-18 tire & 18x10.5 with a 315/30-18 tire out back . Also going to koni/strano the car soon so it will be lower than it sits right now. Let me know what you guys think about my possible new setup,

I think it already looks good, but you cant go wrong with C6 rims though

looks great now....once you drop it, it will look better.

it would be hard to tell the difference since you got the whole blacked out look goin...i'd be tempted to leave it be and spend the cash elsewhere.

kind of what I was thinking, I'll just drop it and see what I feel like then. the main reason I was looking into it was so i can stick some 315's out back.

Would you get the wheels with the rivets or not?

Get it lowered, and just throw a red pinstripe on the edge of the wheels you currently have!

Yup, just lower it and leave the wheels. I personally like how it looks with your current setup

You can always get the rear wheels widened to x11's.

yeah I'm seriously considering getting the wheels I have widened. One of these young new drivers decided she wanted to get into my lane right in the middle of a turn and I had no choice but to go into the curb so i have some road rash on one of my wheels now. I'll check into getting it repaired and widened.

Thanks guys, I like how it sits now too. I just think it would look a little better with some more meat out back. looking into getting these widened now.
