I agree guys on the played out part, at first I wanted to get some mildly cheap wheels just so my car rolls and can roll to a reputable shop for fixings......but I think I am going the 16inch snowflake with 30% tire tread for 300 shipped direction until its fixed and worry about appearance of the vehicle until after it is a functioning vehicle...having said that back to the wheels, I want the fikse fm5's (i think that is the ones I like) i think they look outstanding and if I could find a similar design different company and cheaper, even better.... I did at first like c6's and I looked deeper and I hate how small the spokes look for a hudge bodies Trans am it looks awful, and I can only assume c5's r the same, never seen one TA with them......zr1's r the closest to my ws6 rims I dont mind them I hate TTM and TT2's though, lol thanks everyone for the input

Something (a little) different. Ruff 278's.



Are they super rare? No. But they are at least a bit off the beaten path.

Oh and did I mention they're cheap?

SLV WS6, any more pics of those wheels with different angles? they look nice. Do they come in black? I was thinking about black C6 Z wheels, but these are possible if they come in black.

I'm running C5 Z06 rims, but voted for the C6 rims, I think they look cooler. As far as aftermarket rims, **** that, I'd rather pick up a pair of used Vette rims on the cheap and spend the rest on the motor and suspension. The Vette rims look good on f-bodies and are wide, so it's a win/win situation imo.
