Default ZO6's or iForged Aero's???

I have a 2001 Black SS, and i'm planning on getting new wheels. My choices so far are 18' ZO6 rims and 18 iForged Aero's. I like the ZO6 rims, but more and more people around where I live are getting them. I haven't seen anyone around here with the Aero's. These wheels are bad ***. Are there any other wheels that you guys have, that might look good on my car? Preferably 18' rims. Pictures would help.. thanks!!!

There isn't even a contest between those two choices. You do realize that ONE iForged wheel will cost you about the same as a full set of Z06 wheels, right?

iForged wheels are the best.

if you've got the dough, i'd get the Aeros. Z06's are common unless you get em black, which are always sweet.

Money isn't really a factor in this case. I know that the Aero's are way more expensive. I was just deciding on which rims I wanted, because of the way they look. I was leaning more torward the Aero's, and now I'm pretty sure I will go with them. Thanks for the input.

Anyone have pictures?

I wouldn't do that. Why spend over 3K on wheels that look like the same ones you can get for sub 1K. Just me .02.

I love the Aeros and the black vette up there is the 1st black wheel that makes me . Like Nine Ball said (and I see no reason to dispute someone with +20k posts when he's right) - there's no contest. They're simply a better wheel. If money is of no concern, I'd say buy 2 sets of Z06 wheels, send me 1 set and the extra $2k for mod money, and enjoy!

That's wasn't my point. I'd love to have a nice set of HRE's, Fikse's, IForged, etc. My point actually was one me and a friend of mine were talking about today. We've seen some people purchase high end wheels like the ones stated above that look like OEM wheels. I just wouldn't buy a set of HRE's or IForged wheels that resemble Z06's when I could just buy Z06's. See what I'm saying? To the untrained eye your $4K wheels may look like the same set I have on my car that I paid $600 for.
