Default hate to do this.....

i hate opinion polls but i need more info to make a decision

I was one day away from ordering 19" hp evo style rims and last weekend i was at the local spot and saw my arch enemy in an 2000 modded cobra sporting the same style rims but 18's!!! i debated getting them anyways to show I do it better but he would assume i'm a poser

I've decided to go with 19" C6 or C6 zo6 rims can't decide.

does anyone know the weight difference?

where i can get them for a good price? (PM's welcome)

everywhere i look is 18/19 staggered fitments for f-bodies also what type/size drop should i go with?

also there are no f-bodies around here with any type of corvette rims so i'm not worried about it being done to death

and i drive a red TA

post pics telling me the wheel size and drop if possible please (haven't seen any with 19's yet)

IMO 19's are kind of big. I'd go with 18" C6 Z06. I *think* the Z06's may be a bit lgihter, due to the thinner spokes, but then again I may be completely off base. Plus if you get replicas, who knows. Replicas are probably all heavier than thier factory counterparts.

As a side note, the 17/18 black w/machined lip C6's look awesome on red T/A's.

i love the look of 18/19 staggered c6 zo6 rims on t/a's, the ones that are painted black then the entire face of the rim is machined, looks awsome!

I say screw the cobra guy and get the wheels you want. I think HP EVO's look sick. However, 19's are a little too big for me, I would go with 18's.

C6s look good on T/As so I'm gonna say get those.

By the way, there is no such thing as a 2000 Cobra.

I think they look good. Unknown brand replicas, 18x9.5 up front, 18x11 in the rear.

All up to you though. It's your car, and you're going to have to look at it in the driveway every day. Get what you want.

Well ****, this post is 6 months old. You probably made up your mind and have killer rims now. Why did this get bumped.

Those are the ACE SLICK replicas. Also known as Z07's. They're like a cross between the C5 Z06's & C6 Z06's. Notice how the center of the rim is different. I think they look better than the stock C6 Z06.
Yeah, also wondering why this one got bumped too
