Default What do you guys think? 17" z06

What do you guys think 17" chrome z06 all around is going to look like or a black trans am. I think 17 might end up looking too small. I am considering it because I am wanting some z06s and I already have some 17" tires.

If you get 17" you'll regret not getting 18" trust me I know.

17" too small . .

17" / 18" looks silly . . . IMHO . . .

18" all four corners.

I just ordered up a set of 17x9.5's from Tomzwheels. Order them by the end of today and they're $539 +shipping.

I'm sure 18's could be nicer, but I got a hell of a deal on eight BFG KD 275/40's this summer for just over a grand. No looking back now, FTW!

17" z06 wheels look smaller than they are for some reason, and you'll regret not going with 18's. I had 17/18 staggered on my car and they looked out of place. Go 17's all around if you can live with it, but if you dont mind the ridiculous price of 18" tires, then go with 18's all around!
