Lots of people do have the Z06 wheels, if you want to 'stand out' I'd probably get something different, whether Z07 or something else

Z07s are nice but from an angle they appear to have a flat face. with the Z06 you get at least a very small lip. have you thought about CCWs or HP EVOs?

I still think the stock Firehawk chrome rims are the meanest looking on a T/A. If I had the extra $ i'd buy a set. Im sick of my stock 16s.

I think the 'Hawk wheels are killer, If I didn't have a Firehawk and needed rims I'd buy: '96 to early '01 WS6 rims polished, Or 2000 chrome 'vette rims( that's actually my 1st choice). Or Torque Thrust 2's 17x10 all around.
You can get some chrome ZR1's for a steal. Get the 11 rear if you get the ZR1-tuff looking.
I'm not a big fan of Z06 or Z07 rims on a T/A- Camaro is different.

The only problem is that everyone seems to have them. It is still a great looking wheel though.
