i am very, very partial to black wheels. in this case, yours look too damn good to change. if anything i would look into gun metal or black chrome. the c5 z06's look too busy to me. c6 z06's in any color combo would look nice. black chrome/chrome or gunmetal. maybe painted black, not sure though.

The car NEEDS 18s or 19s. Those ground effects make the side of the car look taller, which in effect makes the wheels appear smaller than normal. The gfx throw the balance off. I'd go 19s on that car.

Everyone always loves the black ZR1's but I can't stand them for some reason. I voted Black 10 spokes because they look mad sexy and I think those are what I am going with!!

I think the car would look sweet with 18's or 19's but this is not only a show car. I do a lot of street racing with this car and bigger wheels is just going to slow me down, plus good luck looking for drag radials! I guess I could just go buy some bigger wheels when I want to show the car and buy some 15's when it is time get nasty with it. Anyways thinks for the advise but right now I am not looking to go with any bigger wheels. However your cars F&N rock with the wheel selection you have on them. Thanks!

You can find 18" drag radials no problem. If you get lightweight forged wheels (not any of the ones you posted) they will possibly weigh less than those 17s.

The color of your car begs for polished or machined wheels. No black wheels.

i wouldn't put black rims on that car. i made that mistake once, only because i wanted a wider rear wheel.

i know money is always a factor, but my 19/20" CCW 505A's would look spectacular. i voted for the 35th LE wheels, i'd do that or leave it as is. you could get the 35th's and have the rears widened

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say that I would put some black American Racing Rebels. I know, not on the list but I got em and I like the way black wheels look with the color of his car. I got black rebels on my ride its in my album if anyone wants to see.
