In Desperate Need Of Some Wheels Ok so I bought my car with the 18" chrome zr1's and im just sick of them, everyone has them. Now i want a new set of wheels, specifically with lip. Here's a pic of my car, tell me what wheel would look the best. Also what's the best size, i want a width of 9.5 just dont know if i want stay at 18's or to go 19's
i was thinking the ruff racing 278's, either black with the chrome lip or chrome front 18x9 and back 19x9.5
or the hp slit5 chrome or black with the chrome lip same sizes
Which one, this is so hard!!

ok i made a thread that is pretty easy to answer, which wheel do you think looks best, last night i went out and measured them and it was 18. Just answer my question about which wheel looks best
I like the black Ruff 278's. I have never seen ZR1's in 18's so take into consideration if you are getting any size bigger than a 17" rim you will need new tires. Not trying to say you can't afford them or anything like that but maybe you don't want to buy tires at the moment.

yea ill take that into consideration, ill probably wait until i need to get new tires and being that im in college that will be a good amount of time to save up the money for these. Thanks, im sure their 17's guys i just went out there last last night with a tape measure and measured from side to side, which is probably wrong. I think im gonna go with the ruff 278's black with chrome lip 18'sx9.5 all around

i think what ill do is go to a discount tire and see what the have, and if they have the ruff racing wheel i got so i can see it in person. Trust me im not gonna jump the gun. Im gonna do more research.
I have two 18x9.5 Ruff 278's for sale, they are Hyperblack with Polished lip. Brand new still in boxes. These are for the rear and will not fit the front. You have to get the 8.5 width for the front or run spacers to fit the 9.5 width. The 9.5's will not clear the front brake caliper (exactly why I have two for sale...haha). I can definetly do better than the price at that site you mentioned.

i hate to break the news to u, but those rims are 17s on ur car. u mesaured wrong, u arent supposed to measure from one end to the other, if u include the tire then its gonna be more then 17. i bet the sidewall says 275/40r17 or a bigger size. they def dont like like 18s, look on other threads of what 18s look like. the sidewall on ur tire is too talll for an 18. i say go with w/e u like. im personally about to purchase 17x9.5 z06 motorsports no rivets for my ride shortly.
