What would YOU do?

I am just curious of people's opinions for wheels on my car. I really can't decide between chrome 18" Z06's, chrome 17" ZR1's, or black/polished lip 17" ZR1's.

ZR1:

Black ZR1:

Right now I am kinda leaning towards the black ZR1's because they are different, cheaper, and go up for sale often. With tinted windows it might look pretty good, but I just want opinions, I havent made up my mind at all yet. Thanks!

everyone has their opinion, but i think that for looks, you cant beat the 18" Z06's (from the choices above).

I've got a red Trans Am with black ZR-1's and it looks great. I like them better than the ZO6's. Everyone has them anyway.

Z06 for sure...the WS6 I'm looking at maybe getting has the black 17" Zr1's and first thing I'm going to do is sell those and get some chrome Z06's they look so bad ***

Have you ridden in an F with 18s? I'm looking at a wheel decision right now as well. I personally don't like the ride quality with 18s all around. I'm considering 17s up front and 18s in back or 17s all around...... I personally really like the looks of the 17" SLP chromes.... Or i'm thinking 17 inch replica zo6 wheels... I'd be wary of saying go for the 18 inch all around if you haven't ridden in a car with that setup... You can definately tell you don't have much rubber....

yeah, I noticed a ride difference w/ mine, and didnt seem to like it at first, but after brakin in the tires a little bit I tried cutting some mean curves, and damn what a difference, I wished I had gotten these earlier, w/ the lower profile tire, there is alot less push going through the turn, they take some getting usto but they do perform alot better, btw. I have a strut tower brace, struts, springs, ect... its in no way stock suspension
