Default help my indecisive @$$ pick wheels!

ok ive decided im tired of rolling around on 16's and need a little more of the proverbial "bling."

the choices...

17x9 & 17x11 chrome zr1
17x9 silver(non-polished) ws6 wheel
17x9.5 & 18x10.5 silver z06 wheel
17x9.5 & 18x10.5 chrome z06 wheel
17x9 silver firehawk
17x9 chrome firehawk

feel free to suggest something.

also, if anyone has pics of these wheels on black trans am's, lowered examples prefferd.
that would be awsome.
thanks guys!

Out of the choices above, I would have to go with the Chrome Firehawks for T/A. But I personnally prefer the TT2 or fikse on a T/A. Yes, I know that everyone has TT2s, but they still look great on a T/A and thats why they all have them. Here are a couple pics of the fikse that I prefer on a T/A

Why not C5 Y2Ks? They look awesome on TAs to me. Yeah some people have them, but they're a clean choice.



If not those then chrome ZR-1s.

If you're anything like me you'll change 4 or 5 times. The Chromes ZR1's would be a great choice to start with. 17x11 look really mean in back!

Your link doesn't work for me, but I assume you are talking about the RUFF wheels? If so, yes they do look very similar to the CCW's and with a MUCH nicer price tag. Personally I really do not like the rivets they have, but if that does not bother you then they are hard to beat.

I don't like chrome. I'd consider black chrome ZR1s maybe.

Sorry the car isnt lowered and it only has 17s in the back but it might give you a general idea how chrome z06 wheels would look.
