Wheels, can't decide. I have a 02 Z28, factory ground fx and is Sebring silver. I have the factory 16inch chrome wheels and trying to decide on new wheels. Ones I have in mind are.
1)Z06 17inch all 4's in chrome.
2)Z06 Motorsport wheels with rivets in chrome. 17's on all 4.
3)Same Motorsport wheels with 18's back 17's front.
4)HP racing EVO wheels in 18's all 4 hyper silver.
The 18's kinda suck for tire prices is my only concern about 18's. Or any other suggestions. Trying to keep my budget under $1,500. Here's pic of car for better ideas.

To me 17" is too small 18" is just right. Please dont get chrome, it looks so cheap on a fbody. Polished, paint or powder coat. So I would have to say #4. That and I hate the Z06 wheels, I'm sick of seeing them. One reason I'm going to sell my Y2K's.
i am in the same boat, i like the z06's but imo the EVO's look the best. the only good tire that was affordable to fit would be a 265/35/18 Fuzion ZRI. around 162$ each. but the 275/40/17 is 113$ .. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes....zion&model=ZRi
with the evo's and tires i can get em for just at 1400$
the z06's with 275s though only come out to around 1150$
comes down to either price or looks.
(and dont forget the hub centering rings cuz of the evo's pattern 5x120 vs 5x120.65 stock)

I like the 18's in back and 17's in front look, but the evo's are only in 18 and 19. In my sig my car on my cardomain site and I like the chrome with the silver. I would think chrome would wash it out, but everyone that looks at my car says go with chrome, so It makes deciding harder. The Fuzion tires are great tires imo, I have Dayton Dayton Zr's on my car now, which are the same tire with a different name on them. To me they are very close to the Firestone SZ50's.

I seen the new C6 17inch knock offs on ebay. Says will fit the Camaro, has anyone tried them or seen a car with them on. They have black, chrome and chrome with rivets and look pretty nice.

Although I would personally go with 18s all the way around, I'm gunna say go with #3, Motorsports look a lot better due to the rivets. I also agree that the C6 wheels are nice too, as I'm having a similar dilemma with my car...but it's ultimately up to you...from the options you have listed, #3 is my favorite.

I never realized how hard it was to make a wheel decision, I feel kinda stupid, been spending way too many hours trying to figure out which wheels for my car. I took less time buying my wife a wedding ring...lol
