whats the sense of getting them widened when you can buy wheels that are already 10inches wide for dirt cheap

C6 Z06 ='s on f-bodies. Go 18" TTM's if you have a hard-on for 18's man, they would look killer on your ride.

Well if i decide i cant find a wheel for the right price that looks better than what i have now then i think widening them is a good option. There isnt much choice for an 18 thats at least 10" wide and doesnt cost a fortune. Any other suggestions? IMO not really a fan of the mag style wheels like TT's or smoothies on MY car just for the fact that they give it a more older style hot rod look and i'm looking for a more newer edgey style. Any other opinions. So far my options are...

Keep mine and widen (wish the rear had bigger lip)
C6 Z06 (mixed views, no lip, wide and good price however)
HP evos (like the design, many options, good size lip, only come 9" wide at most however)
AR Rebels (make a 10" wide, have a good dish, however the spokes are a tad thick for my liking)

These really seem like my only choices and they all have a certain flaw that i have to give up. What are your thoughts?

BTW, i like being unique

Widen yours, they look killer, or the hp evo's. I'd go with the one thats cheaper since you should have alot of extra money for when your f.i. budget gets bigger and bigger haha. By the way, what turbo system did u end up going with and how much is your current budget, if you dont mind my asking?

I have RPM 505's (same wheel) in 9.5. Got them off e-bay in a staggered set. Not sure how much luck you'd have in finding 4 in 9.5 but I think it's do-able.

i love hp lightnings but the quality is ****, well at least the 2 sets that i got shipped, so hp is no good in my book, they look incredible if you are 2 feet away..

Sorry this isn't a wheel opinion, just have to tell you that your car is SICK looking! Those WS6's are one of the meanest/nicest looking cars I've ever seen.
