Which of these 3 wheels I've narrowed it down to 3 (for now haha). I know I want chrome. I would get Z06's but my friend has them and I don't want to copy. So which wheels out of these 3 do you think would look best on a lowered Pewter Z28.
ZR1

Cragar SS

Y2K C5

I like ZR1s but they are a bit too popular. I can't picture the Cragars on my car for some reason. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> However I love the look of them. Same thing with the Y2ks, I almost think the spokes are too thin. Ahh I've been racking my brain over rims for the past 2 months. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> If only I could afford HRE's or Fikse's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Help please. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Which of these 3 wheels ZR1s are VERY dated looking. Too many people have them. Why, I don't know! <img border="0" alt="[boring]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" />
The Cragers are sweet looking! But you may as well just get some TT2s, they look the same! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
My vote is for the Y2Ks! Its a classy looking wheel, and while there are some out there sporting these wheels on f-bodies, they aren't quite as prevelent as the other two mentioned wheels.

Re: Which of these 3 wheels I would go with the Cragars. To many people have the ZR-1s already, so it would be something different. The Y2K wheels just don't look right to me, the spokes are really too thin for my taste. Cragars would look sweet on your Z. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Which of these 3 wheels Crager SS. Out of those three.
Did you check the GP section? I think Discout Tire Direct is doing a GP on Boyd Smoothie II's... which look just like the Cragers.
Good luck! Otherwise, I'd look around for something a little differnt.. seems like everyone and there brother has one of the wheels you picked out. Maybe some iForged wheels or something. Just my .02

Re: Which of these 3 wheels It's possible that I may be slightly biased, but I like the C5 wheels. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Which of these 3 wheels Thanks for the replies guys. The reason I like the Cragars more than the Torq Thrust IIs is because a) they're chrome and b) they're different.

Thats what I like about Y2K Vette wheels, they look bigger than they are.
