I like the chrome a lot better, though those will look thousands times better with tire grease on the rubber.

I really want a set of 18x10.5" chrome Z06's all around, but this is the first set of wheels I came across.

If I had unlimited money, I would probably just do a set of 19" HP EVOs, which I'd be willing to trade both sets of wheels I have now for

Also wouldn't mind some chrome Zr1s.



Personally, I don't think any of the wheels I've had on the car have looked bad, persay. Stock painted 10 spokes, prostars, z06's and now these. Just time for something new.

Have NEVER had a set of 18s on a car so I might try that next, or if anyone wants to trade either set of my wheels for some 18s and some cash on my end.
