black on black looks okay, if you ever wanted to break it up u can just add some dark silver stripes etc,but i think it looks very good, still imo c5dd best budget rim out,get some custom center caps made and they look 10x better

Also agree on c5 deep dish. I am staggered 17x9.5 up front with 18x10.5 rears...

You should stagger it with 17's up front... Looks killer. 18's up front are slightly too big for an fbody imo...

I've kicked that idea around (along with getting deeper dish rears, I love the look of a good deep dish rear wheel with a wide tire), but the thing with going different sizes front and rear whether it be diameter or width is you lose the ability to rotate the tires, so you wear through them faster.

That may not be a big deal to some people but I think it should be mentioned. I'm trying to determine whether I care about tire life or appearance more. Odds are against me getting anything until next year at the earliest anyway so I have time to think about it.

How much faster do you wear through tires when you can't rotate them? Assuming you aren't roasting the tires all the time with burnouts

Well, I don't roast my tires. Ever. For one, my rear end is stock and I have 18x10.5's with 295's lol my rear wouldn't like that much... Also I baby the car for now... I do have the deep dishes in the rear as well. As for rotating, screw that. When it comes time to replace the rears, the fronts will still be fine. I'll figure i'd go through 2 sets of rear tires to one set of fronts.

Yeah if you are not roasting your tires all the time they will last a good bit, honest the look cs tire life is worth going for the look,9 inch reard just look to small on the rear, you need at least a 11,or 10.5 on the rear, you will be much happier going with a wide tire in the rear,

I think 18s look great on a f body, it would be the biggest i would go,but size really depends on the wheel, i really wish they had the c5dd in a 17x11, they teased us with that idea then never made them, i always had a drag setup to put on when i wanna beat on the car/burnouts/race etc, so the street set up last longer

So then the question is do you go with an 8.5" wide or a 9.5" wide front wheel... Turning radius might be a tad better with the narrower wheel (less chance of rubbing the front wheels) but traction would be better with the wider wheel and wider tire, though I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes up front above a 245-ish width front tire.

ive got 245's in the front now and they look great, Ive still got the snowflakes though, I plan on getting some 295's in the rear, but ill wait until i get a nicer camaro for that lol

You would have no problems with even 275's up front... That's what SS wheels cone with from GM.

IHallSS

damn that would be one hell of a tire replacement lol

I'm liking the Z06 spider wheels some of you guys have, the C5 dd wheels are also very nice.

Anyone know what finish these are?
