Default Picking wheels for my 02 Red z28

I will be picking up my 02 Red Z28 next week!! The bitch only has 5k miles on her and I got her for 16k Anyway, Ill have to post pics when i get her home. Im tryin to decide what wheels i wanna go with. Ive never had a red car i didnt think i could ever see myself in a red car, but this is a hell of a deal and i will have to grow into it anyway, since red is already a flashy color, i didnt really wanna go with a wheel thats too flashy, but gimme some opinions. thanks

personally i would just go with some chrome ZR1's because they are cheap and look real good. But there are alot of people who would be against this because alot of people have them.

Ive had the chrome zr1s and wouldnt pass up the chance on a good deal again, but Id prefer to go with a different look. I will be, of course as usual, dropping her an inch or so, tinting her, and putting in clear corners. Thinking about doin the berger panel again as well. So thats a preview of what the car will look like. anyway, thanks for the help. any more suggestions??

I feel it already.. Some *** munch is gonna say "use the search button" or we have a thread on this already. Anyways I think you should look at the Chrome ZR1's or the Z06's. Look on my past posts and I have some pics of my car with the C6 Z06's and I have a red Z also.

If it was mine , depending on financial situation i would go with either

#1 Chrome ZR1's , 17x11 in the back (cheapest option)
#2 Fiske FM5's , they have some sweet finishes
#3 CCW SP500's , really nice wheels IMO

I'd have to say my favorites on a camaro are the SP500's , but thats just me

This is what Id really like to go with. The c5 Y2K wheels have definitely been the best looking wheel on a red f-body I have seen yet. Id probably go with chrome too. Thanks fellas
