Default Wheels I am thinking about.

I know I know it's up to me, but would like suggestions. I like the chrome and black motorsport rivet Z06 wheels also, but these below were also a thought and wanted something a little different.

Go w/ the 1st. How much are they? I've got other suggestion depending on your price range.

Double check the bolt patterns cuz I don't believe ADR makes a wheel in 5x4.75 if I remember right. And 5x120 won't fit I don't think.

Seen a bunch of people with them on. Haven't heard many bad comments as long as you check the TQ on a regular basis or use the hubcentric rings. The wheel I have been wanting for a long time is the Black motorsport Z06's, I also seen some ZR1 wheels in Black Chrome. The Black Chrome really looks good, my only thought on them is would the Black chrome scratch and how hard would it be to get them looking good again.

My stock Chrome 16 inch wheels are starting to pit and bubble in places. I did see some ZR1 replicas in chrome that are 16x8 cheap. Could get a set and 2 extras for the Drag Radials for under $700.

I'd get some weld prostars. But that's just because i like going faster.

But FWIW, those black Z06 rims with the rivets on the lip look super pimp.

I like the old school look too. If the stance looks right I think it is the best look. I do like the prostars.

I like them alot. Black on Silver IMO looks very aggressive, but my opinion is biased on black wheels.

Do a seach in the wheel or appearance section lots of silver cars with Black and chrome ZO6 Wheels.

Rot last night was telling me about a set for $480, if price is a concern. I asked if he would post links to the wheels shown/talked about.

They were 16x8 ZR1 wheels. Come in Silver, Poilshed and Chrome. Not sure how to link to ebay. Just seen they do not work on the vette, may be the grinding thing you talked about. On ebay type Camaro ZR1 16 and they come up. I was thinking about the chrome ones and getting 17 inch Zr1's in the back and the 16's in the front. Gives me a extra set of tires for the front since is stock size and only have to buy the rear tires. Plus my ride will still stay good and can use my 16 inch nitto's at the track if I get a extra 2 wheels.
Silver- $445
Polished-$495
chrome-$595

Not if you got the power ball it makes them easy as Heck to clean. & all you have to do for like a month (unless you go down some Nasty dang roads) is wipe it off with a Mirofiber towel..
