Planning on purchasing some new wheels and tires in the next month or so, and am having some trouble deciding.

The two options are:

stock C6 wheels - front: 18x8.5, rear: 19x10
or

chrome ZR1's - front: 17x9.5, rear: 17x11

I really like how staggered wheels look, as well as larger diameter wheels, also not a crazy fan of chrome wheels. I have been talking to a guy at the tire shop near where I live and he mentioned that the tire selection for C6 19" rears is not that extensive if I want to remain at the original stock diameter of the wheel and tire together...

I pretty much just drive the car on the street, but to take it to the track a couple times a year. I wanted to avoid running drag radials, as I understand that they wear really quickly?

If you feel neither a the right option and want to recommend something else I am all ears!!

Input is appreciated.

Cheers!

Get the ZR1s. They look better (IMO, of course), you'll have a much better (and much cheaper) selection of tires, and you won't need adapters. Plus I don't think that staggered wheels look right on F-bodies; that's a Vette thing.

Seems like good logic. Thanks!

Anyone else?

Come on guys... no help at all?

Hands down the zr1's there one of the best looking rim on a f-body period.

forgestar f14s, f05s , or the concave ones, they all look sick on a ta, also true forged gives some pretty good deals out as well , they have very killer stuff as well,

I really like the ZR1 wheels, I voted for those, probably will be my next setup. C6 wheels are old and tired, everyone has them, and I only deal with them because their priced right all the time.

But I usually try to stick to GM repo's, or other decent wheels I don't plan on keeping forever. But when your talking "other" other, man you can spend up 4k on wheels alone. If only...

honest zr1s are right with any c6 wheel imo, all those wheels are old and tired, i think any c5 wheel looks better than any of the c6 wheels on these cars, it really comes to whats in the ops budget, imo its worth it to save a lil more money and get a killer wheel like forgestars etc, i have always said wheels make the car,i understand everyone cant spend 4 grand on wheels, but there are a few options, look for a good used set with good tires, imo that is the best option, just look around and make sure what ya get you will be happy with
