Help me out bros. First ~ I cant decide on what wheels i want. My rubbers are cracked to the threads so i gotta make up my mind soon. Im stuck between the new dd c5's, the awesome chrome z06 c6's, and the badass black c6's. Any imput or pictures would help greatly! I seriously go back and forth everyday when im thinking about them at work.
Second ~ Paint the stockers gun metal. I think it looks really good and i wreaked a wheel so i have a test one to do it on. I need to kno the best proceedure. Sand down with some sort of grit paper. 2 base coats and 2 clear? And thirty min between all? What kind of paint is the best? So many questions. But i wanna at least paint the test wheel this weekend. Also gunna smoke out my corners maybe some other stuff too. Any help or suggestions is welcome!
Edit: im also going to go check out some drag wheels today at a salvage yard there ford rims i guess, they look really good though but i dont know if they fit. Not nessisarily wanting a drag set up either but i want to see if they'll work on mine

Thanks for the imput. Im still debating. It looks like i cant get away from spending any less than a grand for everything. For new tires for my snowflakes its $420. Cant find anyone selling z06 or anything either so i might as well get the c5 dd. Anyone know how much tires for them cost?

i got the nitto nt555's on mine that came off my SS's when i had them and i swaped em over and there a pretty good tire but i think i spent 6-700 on them i cant remember right off though
C5 DDs for sure. I didn't really like them at first but a 98-02 Camaro Z28 just showed up one day out at the airport with some C5s (non-DD) and drilled and slotted rotors. Now that I've been able to see them in person I'm really feeling them. The Camaro is still out there and hasn't moved for a month or so, I think I'm gonna have to see whats up with it!
