Dont know which wheels to get for my 99 white formula(car pictured in sig), i want black with a chrome/machined lip and ive narrowed it down to either 18x9.5 DD C5 Wheels and 18x8.5 DD C6 z06 Wheels..i would preferably get a 9.5" width to run a little bit of a wider tire but i like the c6 z06 style but its not offered in 18x9.5. So which wheels do you think i should get?? Links of wheels posted below...

C5 DD would look really good in black with some dark tint on the windows

^thats what i had planned lol after the wheels i wanted to get tints, blacked out taillights, ws6 hood, t/a hatch and t/a rear bumper with ceta mod and i thought that would make the look of my car a hell of lot better. im leaning towards the c5 dd as of now i like them alot

As much as I hate to say it, between the two I'd go with the C5's.

I think they're ugly, but the 9.5" width is the selling point. 8.5's are too narrow.

Clean looking Formula, btw. I love them in white.

Ghost99

lol thanks man i agree 8.5 is way to narrow...i also wanted to know if i got the C5's i can either get 18x9.5 all around or i can get 10.5 in the back..if i got 10.5 would it fit without rubbing without me having to do any fender rolling or using spacers? and stuntmanmike if you dont think either of these wheels or nice what do you like im open for other opinions lol

Yeah me too lol. I couldn't decide on a wheel either when I was looking I ended up
With BMW beyern 5 spokes. They're not as wide as id like but they're okay for free lol

Ghost99

haha free is usually always good

Ghost99

bump anybody else have any other ideas that could make me not want the c5 dd?

Right on man!!! C5Z's look gross on Birds.

I don't know what to suggest, I haven't looked at wheels for a while. Anthracite TTM's would look good, or polished TT2's. Even a set of WS6 wheels would look good and be an improvement. I run WS6 Speedlines on my car, I like them alot, but the thin spoke WS6's look great too.

I'm thinking your on a budget looking at the Vette wheels, so pretty much anything is going to be more expensive, so like I said, I wouldn't even know what to suggest.

Ghost99

yea i would love ccw's or something but your right im trying o save money haha..i saw the ws6 speedlines powdercoated black before and they looked sick but id rather buy a set of oe wheels..i really like the c6 z06 but i want 18s and i dont want and 8.5" wide wheel thats to narrow imo

Why didn't you just buy a T/A then? You are really going to spend over 2 grand to convert a formula? I can think of much better ways to spend 2 grand to make that Formy an ultimate sleeper.
