Personally I like Just the chrome C-5 wheels. 18/9.5 in the front 18/10.5 in the rear. I had a friend who had this setup on a black T/A and it looked bad-***. He was dropped with Pro-Kit springs to.

I like the C5 [ Y2k Style ] rims too.. but I'm not sure how the 17/18 combo would look on a F-Body.. it looks great on a Vette though..

Plus, not sure if I wanna lower the ride either.. the roads around here are BAD !!

I personally don't like the 17/18 combo. My buddy had 18's up front and in the rear on his T/A and man it looked killer. Oh and on the lowering part. When you get wheels especially 18's you will want to lower your car. You would think if you keep the same overall tire diameter it wouldn't matter or look any different. Trust me it does. I've seen it on 2 of my personal vehicle's and on coutless of my friends. My car was lowered within a week after I put my Z06 wheels on. I was like you I wasn't plannning on doing it either. Road's are rough here in Ky, to. I'm lowered on a pro-kit with stock shocks and struts. With 108k on them. It is more rough than what it was but you get used to it.

Where can you get the Y2K's in 18 x 10.5 for the rears?

I say go find something else alltogether.
I think the C5 wheels are played out on the Camaro's. Everyone has them, if you want to be different from all of the rest, you may want to find something else.
Just my opinion.

Good luck 2 ya.

I just took my chrome 18x.9.5/10.5 Z06s off of my 01 TA. They looked good but not enough lip or flare on the ta. I just bought some 17x9.5 and 17x11 TT IIs. If you leave them polished then they are for sure played out but i dropped mine off at the powdercoater this morning to take care of that issue. Check out Hawks setup, if you want bling then thats what you need. I got 17s for a little more performance gain. Plus i love the look of a 315 on a T/A. As for lowering, i would go with DMS with a 17 inch wheels and something like hotchkis for 18s and 19s

Man I'm not for sure. But I have seen them. My buddy had a set. They weren't a widened 9.5 either. Check some of the Corvette forums.

I agree. But any wheel that looks better your going to pay 2 times what you pay for vette replica's.

My vote is for the ZO6's out of the first 4 options. But then I saw those ADR rims so I'm changing my vote to those.
