Default Which wheels?

I need to get new wheels for my '99 Z28 and so i "stole" a picture of someones camaro from here (cuz i couldn't find one on my computer - so thanks whoever's car that originally was...) and then grabbed some pictures of wheels off the net and had some guys over on the pro-touring board do a few photochops for me...

Which ones do you like? Keep in mind i just have the stock hood, but i have black mirrors, and i will be putting on a gloss black berger panel on the back with a '69 Z28 emblem on the back and the '69 Camaro emblems on my fenders...

So here are the pictures...
#1. Black C6 Z06 wheels


#2. Chrome C6 Z06 wheels


#3. Hyper Silver (i think) or Black Chrome C6 Z06 wheels



Let me know what you guys think!

I like the black one's. I think they will look good with the black accents you have. Plus it's different from the chrome one's everyone else has on here.

it all depends on the look your going for.
if you want more show and flashy, go chrome
if your more into the racing sceen or you want your car to look plain MEAN, go with the black. the hyper silver would work too but my vote is black.

Not exactly sure yet. I've been thinking about the 18x9.5 up front and 18x10.5's out back... at least for the black wheels. they don't make the black one in an 18x11. but i figure a half inch is pretty damn close.
If i went with the chrome ones, i don't know, probably the same sizes.
I'm just wondering what i'm gonna have to do to get them to fit... I want to get the Sam Strano lowering springs and some shocks for it soon, so i don't know if that's gonna make things too tight and start rubbing anywhere, or if i can just use the bfh mod and maybe roll my fenders/quarters a little and hopefully i'll be fine.

if any of you have 18's if you could tell me how much work you had to do. (yes, i've searched it too) and maybe what size offset i would need?

Thanks

Bolt Pattern

5 x 4.75" or 5 x 120.65 mm

The numbers in the columns are as follows:

WIDTH ..... OFFSET ......... WIDTH OF TIRE

Front and Rear

7.0" ..... +35 to +40 mm .... 215, 225, 235
7.5" ..... +35 to +45 mm .... 215, 225, 235
8.0" ..... +38 to +55 mm .... 225, 235, 245
8.5" ..... +38 to +45 mm .... 235, 245, 255
9.0" ..... +38 to +56 mm .... 255, 265, 275
9.5" ..... +38 to +56 mm .... 255, 265, 275, 285
10.0" ... +38 to +48 mm .... 265, 275, 285

REAR Only

10.0" ... +38 to +54 mm .... 275, 285, 295
10.5" ... +38 to +50 mm .... 285, 295, 305, 315
11.0" ... +45 to +56 mm .... 305, 315, 335

NOTE: 315 series tires DO NOT fit 9" or 9.5" wheels. It will not be discussed.


Got this from the wheel sticky. Hope it helps. The offsets I have seen for the 10.5's is around +58mm so you may need to roll the fenders and do the bfh mod.
