Default What wheels for Silver WS6

I am going to start looking for wheels, but I can't decide on what ones. Price is a big factor, I can't spend that much, and used wheels would be great as well. I want a deep dish wheel, doesn't have to be chrome, any finish that you would think would look good will be fine. I was really considering Am. Racing Rebels, and AT Riva wheels. I am not really a fan of the TT2's. What other options are there for a nice looking deep dish wheel, that won't cost more than $2000? Or should I go with the rebels or AT Rivas?
Thanks, and pics with replies would be great!

Hmm, there is a member named TOONZ that has a silver formula with 17/18" gunmetal z06 rims. They look AWESOME on a silver car due to the similarity in color. I know they aren't deep dish, but I think they would loook great on your car. If I ended up getting a silver T/A, I def. would have gotten those. As far as a good lip...CCW 505a's. My dream wheel. Buuuut....around $4,900 for a set w/tires...So, a little steep.

I've got a silver Formula with chrome zr-1's that you can see in my sig. Rims were $600 brand new buy it now on ebay. And the tires were a little over $600 brand new from tirerack.com Kumho Ecsta 275/40 fronts and Nitto DR's 315/35 rears.


Btw, I'm selling the wheels/tires right now if you're interested...I want to try my hand with black wheels.

5point7, Although those wheels are nice, I am looking for something with a larger lip. I am also now considering ZO6's. I don't know if I like black rims on silver, I would have to see a pic.

I think the 01/02 WS6 wheels are some of the best looking wheels for TAs.


Other than that my vote is for the chrome 18" Z06 wheels, there a pain in the *** to clean but they look good.

I'd be lying to myself if I said I really liked them. They only reason would be becasue they are unique/rare. That would be a big reason to get them.

5POINT7, Any problems with the wheels? Are they blems? Any problems with the chrome? I can't figure out how they let them go that cheap on ebay.

Did you get the 38mm or 50mm offset?

Yeah, they were supposed to be brand new and perfect. Took them out the box to reveal one wheel in the back had one chunk of chrome flaking off already. It was in the part that you can't see (in the dish of the rim) so I didn't pay it any mind. Chrome quality sucks, but then again I'm very picky. They are the 38mm offsets. Here's a close up.
