I think it would look great. A 17x9 in the front and 17x10.5 or 11 in the rear with a little more lip than the front would be ****. I will see if I can post a picture of my buddy's Camaro with similar rims.

bullets? you mean rivets? :dunno:
i like z0hsex wheels pretty well, but im just not a fan of the rivets on these type of z06's, also not a fan of black wheels, but they could look pretty pimp on your white car

Go with 38mm. You have a WS6, with wider fenders than Camaro's. The 38's will stick out more than the 54's, filling the wheel well nicely.

My two cents, stay away from Z06 wheels. I don't like them on Formula's and T/A's because our cars have so much more shape than Camaro's. It ruins the lines of our shapely cars IMO.

My vote would have to go to the CETA wheels if you want black, they are the same as the factory WS-6, just painted (powdercoated?) black.

They look awesome.

Thanks Brak Attack for the link. That's my wife's Z28, and the wheels are 18X9.5 Front and 18X10.5 Rear Z06 Replicas. The car is lowered with a Pro kit, and things work well in the rear, although the rear fenders are rolled.
