Yeah. I got lucky someone hit my car and the only damage was to the drivers side wheel. It can't be replaced so I get new wheels.

@ 01Z thanx, you're the first person on here to like them. I thought they weren't bad at all, till ls1tech Gods said different. **** I still get compliments on the car daily. But since doing modds I have wanted something wider but smaller in diameter

I like them ok just a little big for my taste and to much wheel gap. I'm all for people doing something other than zr1s and Z06s

I'd stick with 18's front and rear, IMO it looks better!
BTW,If you want a staggered height look do it with taller rear tires not wheels, it's a better look.

Go with the C5 DD 18x9f 18x10.5r black, that would look sweet!

Torque Thrust 2s. 17x9.5 fronts/17x11 rears. C5/C6 wheels do nothing for fbodys.

c6 z06 rims look nice and sleek, but for a fbody id rather have c5 z06 rims. But then again nothing beats salad shooters

To many people rock vette wheels, when I get wheels I want some TTII's or some 15" wheels like racestars. In my town there are only a few F-bodys and they ALL have C5 Z06 wheels. I know TTII's are out there alot too, but not around here and I have always loved them.
