Default WS6's or ZR1's ?

Im about to finish up a complete fresh polish on the stock 17x9 WS6 wheels, and am currently running 18x9.5 Chrome ZR1 wheels. I need new back tires bad and I'm about to order a pair of Nitto's. But I need to decide what set of wheels I want to run. The set thats not chosen will be sold. The WS6's have all brand new Fuzion Zri's. If I use the ZR1's I'll be getting 285/35/18 in the back and if I use the WS6's I'll stick to 275/40/17.

One thing I'll hate about the WS6's is keeping them maintained. But the tires will be a lot cheaper. I'm gonna be ordering the tires this week so help me decide what wheels will look better!

Note: The pic with the ZR1's is my car now. The pic with the WS6's is just a representation. My freshly polished ones will be shinier.

I'm usually a huge fan of the WS6 rims on a Trans Am but, looking at the 2 pics you posted, I would have to say the ZR1's look much better on your car. Nice!

Thumbs up

Bust up the tires and WS6 rims and sell them. I'll take 2 of the WS6 rims without tires to start you off.

Its a tough decision. I like both wheels. I like the ZR1's in 18's. I would leave those on and keep the WS6's just in case you want to swap later.

ws6s are the best stock wheels ever mad imo. I would go with those over the ZR1s on a t/a any day!
