None of the above...

ZR1's and C5 ZO6's have been done to death, everyone and his brother runs those.

I would go with 18" C6 Z06's, or 17x9.5/10.5 TT2's.

The TT2's just look so RIGHT on a red Z, I don't think you can possibly go wrong with them. Anthracite TTM's would look nice too, but I think the chrome TTM's look a bit cheap.

The Rebels are a nice looking wheel, but I've seen pics of them on F-Bodies and they don't look quite right, at least IMO.

Man I liked the way your car looked so much with those 35th's on there. Yours and that one 35th Camaro that has them widened in the rear are what make me want a red Camaro just for that!

I voted for the Z06 because those where the wheels that I wanted for my Z/28 so bad.

Poll looks pretty even, so I don't know how much help we are
