Talking NBM Wheels

I am looking to go with 315s on the back of my car and deciding on wheels now. Its a NMB T/A. Want to get your opinions. Chrome ZR1s, Gunmetal ZR1s, or Chrome Z06 Motorsports?

I'm thinking of settling for a set of TT2s
Nothing awesome about them, just some good looking wheels

Gotta go with chrome. No Rivets on the Chrome Z06 wheels, My friend has the chrome ones with the fake rivets and they just look cheesy and like . The rivets really clutter up the wheel and take away from the clean looks of the Z06 wheels. Now if they were black Z06's with a polished lip and fake chrome rivets. Thats a different story cause they look pretty good. Not on a NMB car but just thought I would add that.

Yeah its harder with NBM for some reason. Im leaning toward Chrome 17x9.5/17x11 ZR1s or regular Chrome ZO6s 17x9.5/18x10.5 (dont need cheesy lame fake rivets LOLOL). Gunmetal would just look like brake dust i started thinking haha. Thanks for the input.. Anyone else?? Or other wheel suggestions even?

I still like the gunmetals with a polished lip. Then you don't have to worry bout the brake dust cause you can't see it!

i think the chrome C6's look nice on TA's as well

but the chrome (no rivits) Z06's would be a great choice as well, lots of examples to look at on here

Hmm.. 18" Z06 is what alot of peep are saying. I just hate to buy the tires for 18s all the time bc im gonna run 315s out back. I was leaning towards ZR1s bc of the width and they are still 17, even though they are kinda generic. Well now days so are Z06 style lol. Maybe Ill just toss a coin haha.. Thanks to everyone for the input!!

in the same boat as you... you probably know that, most threads about wheels for NBM is made by me, hahahahah. (somebody actually posted my threads earlier)... after long debate, ive ruled out 18's completely... tires are expensive, looks bad untill lowered, most of the time heavier, and most importantly ZERO traction unless running DR's due to smaller sidewall. since i get in street scuffles now and then i would like to have good traction just incase a ricer wants to get me at a light, so im going with 17's, running 315's and BFG sells a DR for 155$ a piece in 315's... so to me after thinking, it was an easy choice. but now im stuck between zr1's or tt2's or a boyd wheel
