Default help me decide on some wheels!!!!
So im looking at buying a new set of wheels and ive come up with some different options but im beating myself up over it so i want to know what you guys think. car is a white T/A ram air hood, blacked out everything so i wanna do black wheels.

im looking at either black c6 z06, black c6 with chrome lip, or some stern st8 in black.

i also saw some pictures of the c6 z06 rims in black but a deep dish on ebay... anyone know anything about these? all thoughts are appreciated.

17s, 18, 19s?
How wide?

Staggered width, or height, or all the same?

How about the wheels that are on the ZR1 vette or the spyder z06 wheels. They are offered in black on factory reproductions site. Nobody has them and they are different than the C5's and C6's.

i dont like ZR1s cause i think they look too rounded. I was thinking of a 18 or 19 rear by 9.5-10.5 width. i called a company that makes the deepdish z06 style in black, they had them on ebay for 560 shipped, however to order direct from them it was 890 shipped. I really like this style rim and i can get it in a 18 or 19 by 10" and 18 by 8.5 rear.

I think you are confusing the ZR1 wheels. I meant these http://www.factoryreproductions.com/...vette&wheel=14

Or these
http://www.factoryreproductions.com/...vette&wheel=13

They are new.
