Default which wheels?
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)

It's up to your budget, the Z06 don't look that bad at all on your car, but I really like Ruff Racing better.

Ya that's what I'm thinking just getting the ruffs.. Im trying to decide if black would look good on a silver car though? I've always thought black and silver didn't go together but maybe ill give it a try, do something different.. thanks for the input guys

well I think I've decided to get the ruffs.. not sure on the color choice yet but most likely chrome.. My other question is what size rims should I get?? I feel like it's time to step up to 19's. I know nobody likes 19's but I think anything under a 20 is fine. Plus these wheels are more for show and cruises anyways I have a set of drag lites with et streets for the track

I agree, some black wheels with a big polished lip would look really good on there.
