Cool C6 or Z06 ?? Opinions Please.

So what do you think would look better on My Artic white 02 ss... can't decide between the C6 or Zo6. Looking at 18x9.5 not sure what tire size yet...

Personally, I like the ZO6's but everybody in the world has them. So id I were you I would go with some C6's to be different. IMO they both look really good, so its really a toss-up......Plus it also depends on what your future plans will be for your car.

hey people so I have talked to Tomz wheels. They have some c6 z06 18-9.5 rims .57 offset with F 275/35 R285/35. What do you think of the size tires.. Remeber that my car is still Stock Height.. Looking to maybe do atleast a 1" spring later on. so some input on what you have or works.. dont want to have a great gap problem...What size tire do you think would be best fit??

Thanks..

i think it will look good man. have you decided on the finish of the wheel?
with a 57mm offset in the rear it will make the tire sit towards the outer fender. the 285 size will fill the fenders out pretty nicely, and you should not have any rubbing issues.

Chrome c6 is what i want... I think that will look the best and easier to keep clean.

The regular C6's just don't look as good on a camaro as they do a TA.

On tire sizes, I kind of like a slightly taller rear tire. Have you considered a 265/35/18 front and 285/35/18 rear? It will make the front a little stretched and the rear a little fat looking. If they fit, you could go 275/35 and 295/35 also. These combos make the rear tire about 1/2 taller in height.
