Kinda curious....why do you want to buy just the rim, and not the whole wheel?

I'd go with the the Z06's but then again I'm biased. I'm just not a fan of the center on the ADR's. Plus what widths are available not sure if you want a wide wheel in the back.

I bet you know which one I am going to vote for. And with the 10.5 you will have a larger lip in the rear.

My guess would probably be the same size as the lip on the gunmetal ones. http://oewheelsllc.com/Camaro-Wheels...-p6902392.html

That's right, the lip will be identical to the one photo'd. It's a little over 2".

I dont like rivets or polished lips.

So i picked the lesser of two evils, ADR.

I think they are different, and still are cool,

It seems everyone the told you to get the C6Z, have a set themselves.... its a cult, dont be fooled.
