Certainly these are the ****. But for most folks the cost is prohibitive, so when looking for wheels its really important to have a budget in mind...

I have 17" Simmons F-series and they cost me... well, way the hell TOO MUCH!!! I would've just bought some black ZR-1's but now that it is said and done, no-one for about 60 square miles has these so I like em that much more. There is nothing wrong with the ZR's or the Z06's.

as saying he didn't really have a budget.

Fikse makes good looking wheels and they are light, but i like the american racing Torque Thrust wheels... they really give your car that "muscly" look. Fiske would be REALLY pricey too, and they look more like race wheels. it all depends on what kinda look you want and how much money you're willing to spend to get it. But when it comes down to it, i don't think anything looks better than a Z06 wheel on a 4th gen.

I paid $600 for all four of my chrome zr-1's. 17x9.5 and 17x11. They look great on a lowered car, and are cheap. That's less than one iForged wheel, and they both do the same thing.

One thing though, if you go with zr-1's from ebay (like I did), don't buy chrome, b/c the finish isn't high quality. Black or gunmetal if I could do it all over again (Sebring Silver Formula). Have fun choosing your wheels. It took me a long time to decide what I wanted.
