Help me pick a set of wheels...
Help me pick a set of wheels... Since there are some great looking cars here with great looking wheels I figured Id start a thread to get opinions on what would look good on my car.
Ive always bee happy with my stockers.... but Im starting to look into other wheels.
Ive considered black TTs with polished lips ( TT wheels ) and I also like the HP EVOs with black centers... but they dont come with a 11" option for the rear. I also like the CCW Classic look with a black center... but they are so much cash!
Throw out some ideas... Ive thought about some C5 ZO6 wheels and have the face machined and the insides painted black, JUST like my Anny wheels (see pics below) and I think those would look sick, so far one of my fav ideas.
Let me know what your opinions are (must have a 11" option... feel free to PS the pics if you want.
THANKS!

i think that the 35th anny wheels on there are awesome, ive always liked them...a cool concept just poped in my mind...i really like the polished edge with everything else blacked out (how the anny wheels are).....maybe you can find another wheel that u can get and keep the edge chrome, machined, or polished and have the rest powder coated....that would be unique
EDIT*
i kind of tried it on the evo bc its a bad wheel but my its like **** bc the black wanted to go on the face of the wheel...if someone can do it better, go for it, but you get the idea with this...i think it would be bad

Crappy situation. So now Im looking for a new wheel that will have proper backspacing and 11" wide.... so I dont have to cut the studs on the new rear end.... so when I head to the track I can just unbolt and slap on a race wheel/slick and go.

Thanks for the idea and PSin' it for me.
Gotcha.
They widened them in the wrong spots eh??
Or is that just the way it goes with widened stockers??
If so, glad I went with the TTII's to get my 11" wheel out back.
Wheel studs look a little funny when running the street wheels though.
Looks pretty good on the 15" ProStars though.

I think your car needs a polished wheel,I am not fan of black wheels.just me.A TT2 or TTm's would look good.
I cant decided between 18 inch TT2 or just going with TTm's.
Car looks great by the way I have a soft spot for the 35th ann cars.

They already make a machined face C5 Z06 wheel.

There are pics of these wheels on camaros on here, but the search function is worth a crap right now.
And here is the same finish wheel in a C6 Z06 model.

Also I wouldn't rule out widening the HP Evos in black. They sit perfect on the f-bodys with the 38 mm offset. They would only be widened from the inside, so you could safely widen them to a 10.5 and not have any problems with rubbing and running a 305 or even 315 tire.
