It's Tough Deciding Which Wheels To Buy!
Hey guys - I have a set of new NT555RII's sitting in the garage and I find that I'm having a tough time deciding on which set of wheels I would like to buy to have these tires mounted.
Here is a couple close up pictures of my Vette's current wheels right now for reference:
Now if I had the money I'd be picking up a set of CCW's but my budget isn't that big right now. I will say - I do love the style of the C6 Z06 wheels and the deep dish is calling my name lol plus they are pretty affordable. These are the 4 particular selections that have my attention right now.
1. Black Deep Dish w/ Chrome Lip
2. Chrome Deep Dish
3. Black Deep Dish w/ Chrome Lip & Rivets
4. Gunmetal Deep Dish w/ Chrome Lip & Rivets
What do you guys think? The reason why I'm asking is because I've been trying to decide for the past couple months and I feel like I just can't make up my mind :*****:. Honestly, I think they'd all look great . So I figured I'd post up this thread to see if anyone can sway my decision . If you have any other recommendations feel free to post! Thanks

honest i think your car is to nice for any of those wheels , but its all in your budget, those wheels are nice but i dont think there nicer than what you have. nice wheels are not cheap and not everyone can put up 3 grand for rims, but i would look into some of the true forged wheels, there really nice and want to expand into the ls based cars, i have talked to a few people that got really good quotes from them, i see alot of really nice rims for sell for vettes, alot of nice forged wheels for around 2500 with tires,its up to you but i would keep an eye out for a killer deal in the parts section

Thanks man ^ I appreciate the compliments on the car. It's true though - I've always been geared towards putting money towards performance and not in the looks department. Paying a few thousand for wheels seems crazy to me even though I'd love to have them. I know these wheels I posted are very affordable and I figured I'd switch things up while running the new tires. But I'll admit it's a tough decision.

i like the gun metal color but i dont like the rivits.
i also really like the machined face z06 wheels. i think those would look good on your car IMO, but i voted for the gun metal / grey ones

i have the same issue, this year i put some money into the looks instead of performance, it was hard to do just because go fast stuff is the way to go , what good is a car that looks like it runs 10s when it doesnt lol, but im glad i did, it looks alot better than it did, pretty much all i have left to do is new wheels, im so burnt on the pro stars, but i realize rims are not cheap and im looking at drag wheels , i could never make up my mind on 18,19 inch wheels ,your car is really nice though man, i know most hate rivets but im a fan of them . i know how it is to want a change but make a good upgrade, i think your rims look better than the ones you posted

C5 Deep Dish:
SP500's :
It looks like I'm going to have to spend some time on CorvetteForum looking at the "Post pics of your Black Vette" thread to find a combo that I really like. This is proving a very difficult task trying to decide .

maybe spend a little more $ and get some F14's, I love these wheels and I'd bet they would look great on a black C5 with gunmetal or silver finish. Hell even the forgestar CF5's.... I doubt you'd have any regrets..

This is what I was thinking. I'm going to have to put some serious thought into this. So far it seems that there are quite a few options and theoretically they should all look good lol.
