Okay I can't decide what I should do.. I've had z06 wheels on my car for like 3 years now and I'm just sick of them. Everyone tells me they love them and I'm stupid but I got offered a pretty good amount from a guy with a vette. Plus I feel like everyone on here bashes z06 rims. The question is should I sell them and buy some Ruff Racing 278 wheels, something else (possibly AR rebels) or just leave the z06's?? let me know what you guys think because I would like to pick up some new rims this week unless you convince me otherwise...
How it is right now (z06 wheels)
Ruff Racing 278 wheels (sick car i don't know who's it is)

The blue T/A was a member of the car club i was in before the owner upgraded. Those are actually HREs.
In any case - my vote goes to the Ruffs. Im trying to decided on hyperblack vs chrome personally.

I'd leave the ZO6 rims or go with 505A CCWs. Like the my2kTA said, those rims aren't ruff racing rims. They are actually totally different rims, they might look similar, but the quality of HRE rims are a lot better. Ruffs still look good, but I wouldn't put them on my car.
im havin the same prob with you.. I had my z06s forever now and im sick and tired of them but i cant find anything else i want and looks better than the z06s..so im just kinda stuck with them.. but the 278s would look badass on your car

ya after a few looks i can tell the differences in the wheels on the blue t/a. But basically they look the exact same. Im thinking about calling the guy to buy my wheels and pickin up the chrome 278's this weekend.. thanks for the input guys

I would say the Ruffs, I am going to get a set of rims for my car too, and those ones are sweet. I looked for them everywhere though and no one seems to have them. Does anyone know where they are in stock in the black?

That's funny because that is who I was going to buy them off. I've heard nothing but good things about them. I also heard you can't find them cheaper anywhere else
What would u ask for the Z06's? Depends on the cost of the rims to me... If u can get the Ruff's for like 100-200 more then i would say go for them.. They would look awesome in black... Have fun with whatever u choose peace

well I know someone that will give me $950 and the ruffs with tires are close to $1500 so i may need to save up just a little....
I think the Z06's look great... I just bought a set of em... Not sure why everyone bashes on em so much. TT2's are on EVERY car i see on here, but they still look great as well. I must say though, in 3 years i would probably want another set of rims as well. save for the 505a's!
