Default Vote On Your Favorite Rims

I bent my rims (long story) and now I can't decide on which ones to get. I am deciding between:

Chrome 10 Spokes
Chrome Y2K Vette Rims
Chrome Z06 Rims
Polished Aluminum Torq-Thrust II's
Chrome Cragar SS Rims

To see them: Click Here

I also can't decide between 17's and 18's. I'm leaning more towards 18" Cragar SS's right now.

If i were to go with 18x9 or 18x8.5, what is the correct tire size? Is it 275/35/18 and would I need to adjust anything for my speedo to work correctly?

Let me know what you all think!

ENT - I like the chrome Z06's, you can usually get a sweet combo deal from afswheels.com

Viserys - nice pic, I like those rims on your car, you say more in sig but where's the sig?

chrome zo6's unless you like drag radials..then you ned something 17".....I run good ol' chrome zr1's for the 11" drag radials. Plus its a classic look to me. If I wasn't much of a drag racer I would go Fiksee or HRE 18" & 19"'s.

The Z06 are the best looking without discussion.

Personally I like the Cragar SS rims, especially on a TA. It's probably because my older brother had a '79 TA with them on it and that's what got me hooked.

One day I might sell the chrome ZR1's and get a set of the Cragar SS's

If you think the Z06 are badass... Look at the HRE 541's
