I agree. On a black car, chrome or black non-motorsports Z06 wheels would look perfect.

18 all around is the only way to go. Almost always, when people get 17 in front and 18 in back, they have WAY too much sidewall in front.

18" x 9.5" front and 18" x 10.5" rear most definitely!

lowered fbodies look like they are doing wheelies when they are coming at you down the road if you have a smaller rim on front it corrects it plus it isnt that noticeanle. i have a red trans am lowered on oem hyper grey z06 rims. I dont have any pics but if youd like i can post some

Just out of curiosity, how come no one has mentioned anything about using a 17/17 setup? I'm not a huge fan of big wheels, even though these cars have a pretty decent sized wheel well, but also the price jump for tires from 17 to 18 is pretty decent.

And, again I'm sorry to hijack, but where do you all purchase your wheels?
