Ehh I'd do with something different. I never been a fan of those stock WS6 wheels, and EVERYONE has the other wheels. I'd keep looking.

I'm not crazy about the Z06 wheels on an F-Body either. I wonder how much it would cost to get my rear wheels widened, and who would do them.

Honestly, I would keep the WS6 wheels. They look far better on your car than the

Dish out some money to widen them, or put the money into making it faster

Ive never liked the C5 Z06 wheels either. Now the C6 Z06 has the appearce of Stock WS6 wheels cept its dual spoked. Paid for 1625.00 for my 18" 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears WITH tires inc. mounting and balanceing. I have yet to see another Camaro OR Firebird with C6 wheels and seen 2 Camaros and one Firebird with the C5 Rims in my area. That was also a reason I chose different.

Also you can find really good deals sometimes if you check around at some of those smaller Rim shops in your area or near you. They dont get as much business as the bigger shops so they sometimes cut their profit just to make a few extra bucks for the week.

I disagree. they were not mustang wheels to begin with exclusively. they are technically torq thrust wheels, not mustang wheels. Ford copied that design from the torque thrusts. ive seen numerous cars with these wheels that look killer, and the price is right. I think my car looks just fine with em, and like another said, they come in black which would look killer on your car. you can get the wider rears and throw some 315's on easy as pie. Thats my .02.
