Default 2001 SS wheels or Z06 wheels?

Well, I cant find a Michelin Pilot Sport 315/30/18 for my rear Z06 replica wheels. I like the aggressive thread pattern it had, but they been replaced with the PS2. So, Im debating on just putting on some 295/35/18's tires Kuhmo, Toyo, etc. or just saying screw it and leave my stockers on with the 275's. Either way, got to buy 2 new rear's for the Z06 wheels or 4 new all around for my stockers very very soon. Sometimes I just miss my stock wheels and then again I have a set of Z06 black w/polished lip sitting in my garage now. My cousin says just to leave the stock ones, since it looks sleeper because it barely gets washed and at least when Im cruising on low rpm until I rip an unsuspecting someone a new ******* . I just get picked on more with my original wheels. Need some suggestions. Maybe some of you have gone back to stock wheels as well and back and forth and been in my position, just in case it sounds like a dumb question.

There silver, actually just decided to go with Goodyear F1 GDS-3's(295's). Then with my luck, when I called Discount Tire, they could not find it, checked with Goodyear and they dont carry it anymore. I guess I going to call Goodyear and find out myself for sure. Anyway, so I went ahead and ordered BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW, 295's. Putting them on Friday, but my car is sitting in the garage flat. My rear tire took to **** the on the last block to my apartment on Monday. When I said soon I meant it. Thanks for the input.
