Default Possible wheel option (Pictures inside)

Looking at purchasing these wheels for my camaro.

Offset is a little bit off, but i kinda like how they sit.

looks like the chrome is bubbling in the 4th pic down, or are they just dirty?

Bit of both... chrome is not perfect, but for what i can get them for it doesent matter.

Edit look in the second to last picture, the rim looks completely different after a quick scrub.

You're going to cut the rear tires the first time you hit a bump.

that's cool...i've done business with nathan before and his car is ~85% identical to yours.

i've got some 17x9.5/18x10.5" polished aluminum Z06's and a set of WS6 wheels. i want 18" Z06's all around with a wide rear wheel preferably in chrome....lmk if you decide to sell, if they're the right sizes...

those look 100x better than those z06 wheels, but not only that, they're also less common and cliche

no brainer in my opinion, the c5z wheels are kinda ugly...I hate the way the spokes direct in towards the edge instead of being flat, plus they don't have enough lip

c6/c6z wheels are the only vette wheels that look good on fbodies

This guy beat me to it! EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Go for it, they look great.

The C5Z wheels look cheap, those other one definitely add some class to your ride. Plus they look bigger too, C5Z wheels always look small to me.

They look awesome man I say get them.
The rears look like they sit out just about as far as my 17x11's and the fronts actually look better like that than tucked inside the wheel well...it has a more agressive look to it.

How much are you getting them for?

$200 for the set with tires, they are 18x8.5's in the front and 18x9.5's in the rear. the rims are actually oem bmw 740i m series wheels.
