Default Are these wheels too played out??

I'm thinking about ordering a set of Black Z06 Motorsports wheels for my black Formula WS6, I think it will look very tough, but are there too many of these already out there?

thats right. and unless you pass 5 other cars just like yours going down the street to the gas station, get em. they are popular for a reason.

they do look tough. i had chrome 10 spoke SS rims before, and everyone has told me my car looks pissed off now with the black Zo6 motorports rims!

If you like them go for it, but IMO I don't like the Rivets. They make the overall height of the wheel look smaller because the spokes are shorter. Now if you could get some Z06's like mine with black centers now that would be sweet. If it were me and I had your car and I was on a budget it would be BLK ZR1's with 11's out back all day long or If I wasn't on a budget it would have Fiske FM10's 17/9.5's front 17/11's rear.

I had a set of 17x11 Chrome ZR1's when I got the car, didn't like them at all. Can't stand the way they look on Fbodies. After I get all my nitrous stuff straightened out, I think I'll order a set of these. Thanks guys.

Please get the non- motorsport ones. Make sure they're 18's to or else you're going to lose.

Lose? What would I lose? I'm going to either do 17's all around, or 17's up front and 18's in the rear. I really don't want to buy all new tires. It's got an Eibach ProKit, so it's already in the weeds. My 17's already look too big on the front.

seriously, get 18s all around, they look MUCH better. The wheels are played out on the internet, but are still probably rare up in Kentucky

Z06's look great in 18" diameters. And skip those goofy fake bolt versions . . . Sorry I just really dislike those . . . .
