Which wheels on my Z? Hey everyone. My wheels got messed up in my accident (well, just one of them, and not that badly, but I want to go 17" and get rid of the chrome), so I need new wheels. 17" for sure. I have four choices and am asking for help deciding. My car is a 1999 Z28 t-tops, Black, no badging, silver hood (for now), silver Grand Sport stripes (driver's side), and silver rear CAMARO letters. My four choices are:
-1.) 17"x9.5"/17"x11" Silver ZR1's:

-2.) 17"x9.5"/17"x11" Black ZR1's:

-3.) 17"x8.5" Silver C5's:

-4.) 17"x9.5" Silver 10-spoke SS's:

Ok, with my car, regardless of the price difference, which would you choose? I am leaning towards one of the ZR1's right now, solely because with those I could run 315 Drag Radials out back, but let that in no way influence your vote. Please chime in. Thank you very much.

P.S. tires are already decided. For the rears, I am doing Nitto 555 Drag Radials for the rear (either 275's or 315's depending on the wheels), and either Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&S's or BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW's for the fronts.
Black ZR1's baby. Black on black will make your car look all buisness. I would go 17x9.5 all around, and put 315 Nittos on the back. They will work on a 9.5" rim since Nittos arent as wide as most tires. A 315 Nitto is "really" like a 285 in most other brands, so I hear.

There's a black Z28 at a local car show with the black ZR1 wheels. It looks great! It's been lowered some, and I think he has the wheels with the wider machined lip from AFS Wheels.
If you get the 9.5" wheel I would stick with the 275/40R17 tire though. Minimum recommended wheel width for the 315 is 10.5", and they look funny on a 9 or 9.5" wheel due to the overhang.
