I think they look . It just something different for a change to. I've got oem chrome zr1's and its time for a change. Been looking at the same wheel for 7 years now. I'll be selling them w/good rubber on them as well. Nitto rII's and GYf1's

The 315 out back should look bad-***. Probably need the BFH mod on a Z for the 315. One question though, why go with a 30 in back? Are you planning to run a 30 up front too? The 35's will keep your speedo closer to accurate.

I gotta say that going with the 18's and a 35 will make the ride much harder if you're coming from 17" 45's. I do not drive my car daily so I do not mind the ride and you may not either but I would think a 30 profile tire will be an even harder ride. Just something to consider.

right now I'm running a the nitto rII at 275x40x17. The tire I want to run only comes in a 30 series(nt-01) or 2nd choice is the rII in 305x35x18. The front I havent decided on yet but will most likely be a 275x35x18. The 30 will make my speed slightly less than what it actualy is, which is not a bad thing for the cops but it can be corrected.

more than half say the c5z06 so far. the other nice thing about the z07 wheel is it comes in an 11 and a +53 offset as opposed to 10.5 an a 56-58 offset.

I liked the C6 Z06 (Z07) I saw in pics but I was not crazy over them but I got them anyway because they did look good and no one around here has them. Then once I put them on I was amazed how good they turned out. Everytime I look at them I like them more everyday. I don't think you will be disappointed in them if you get them.

C5 Z06's without a doubt.

IMO, both C6 and C6 Z06 wheels only look good on the C6's.

I like the C5 ZO6's (Pics in Sig) but the Z07's look nice too. Does anyone know which style is lighter?

I voted for the C6-Z06 but the regular C6 look absolutly killer!! The only thing I was worried about with them was the BLING factor but as evidence by the black TA they look amazing.

a 35series on an 18 to retain stock height is a 295... since 35 is an aspect ratio... if you run a 315 with a 35 it would be too tall.. youre right going with the 30 the only thing that sucks about the 315/30/18 is the price and selection.. the bfg drag radials are like 250 but dont last long.. and any other tire is 330+... its a tight fit
