I kinda agree with this guy bobby, sorry to say it but the ZO6's don't do your car justice and the drag look wouldn't work to well i think.. I liked your 5 stars before but the off set was way off, if you could get a similar style but a better off set your set man..

Personally I love the drag look on the street. You don't have to go crazy and ride a 4" tire up front. You could do a false skinny at 7" tire or so up front and 315 in back with minimal work.

I love the classic look of Torq Thursts. I think they make any 4th gen look that much better but most people have moved away from those wheels recently.

Those FM5's look pretty good.

I've always liked your car. You've done a real nice job with it.

Good luck

I think you should go with some black ZR1s, Because your car's detail/secondary color is black the ZR1s would compliment it better but still add a bit of contrast with the chrome lip IMO...

The PS with the FM5's looks good, but I agree with those saying black wheels.. PS a pic with some black rims/chrome lip. ZR1, C5Z, C6Z, C5 DD, etc...

Those Y2K's will look great on there, deep dish even more so, maybe I'm just partial to them though, hehe.
