Yeah, the spokes just look kinda stretched and the style doesn't fit well on a wheel that big. But it's your choice man. If you like them, go for it.

I see what you mean about the backs looking bad, because at times I see the same thing with my 17'' ZR1s. I think it's just that I'm used to seeing newer performance cars with larger wheels on them (and they look great!). It just makes me feel like the wheels on mine are too small, but other times I look at them and they're just stunning in 17s, so who knows?

Please....HPs are surely best...especially big and lowered. The staggered look is definitely good looking. If you like Z06's,,,the new machined ones are awesome as stated above. I thought they'd be stupid...yikes...might be the best looking yet...worth looking at.

Blacknred, your car has the perfect stance man, do you just have the DMS springs?
