Default Wheels For Car Shows.

Ok, you guys know the drill. I cant decide what wheels to pick. After the paint job, I just dont feel that the ZR1's look that great anymore.I am only going to be able to spend 1600-2000 for rims and tires. I only want chrome, and not worried about the weight. Im keeping the 17 ZR1's for racing. 18's all the way around. I have considered all the usual, C5 Z06, C6 Z06, AR Rebels.... I like them all but just dont have an eye to picture which would look good. I need them for the car show scene this spring. Here are a few pics of the car to get an idea. Oh and the calipers are going to get repainted too. Thanks in advance.

Something with black centers and a deep dish. AR rebels with black centers and meats in the back would look sick. Wish that I could afford some new rims...

The black rebels would look really good, or the black torque thrust M's. I normally am not a fan of the black rims but I think that they would look really good on your car. Love the flames by the way!!!

Everyone keeps saying Black, Chrome is the only option. I, for some reason, dont like black. Not saying that there arent some sweet *** rides out there with black rims, just not on my car.

can't go wrong with some TTII's, although I think your ZR1's look just fine.

Personally not a big fan of the Z06 wheels on a camaro if thats what your lookin at keep what you got IMO
