What do you guys think of these rims what do you guys think of these rims the lowest they go is 19" but i want the rims i get to be 18x11 rear and 17x9 front or as close to those sizes i can get to. plus if there are any other rims that look similar to these and with the sizes i posted then feel free to let me know. my car is blue but i have a repaint of maybe a house of color blue with either metal flake(nothing too lowrider like just something subtle) or a pearlescent hue to it with these rims and the 3" cowl SS hood.

the zo6's are best out of the two IMO... yea a lot of people have them but id rather have some that look good that lots of others have rather than get something that i wont be happy with just to be different. being "different" isnt always the best move when it comes to appearence. my .02

what i am looking for is just a not the run of the mill look but i dont know what to go with i like the Z06's but as yall say everyone has them thats why i dont want them. thats when i found the black version, but still not my first choice.
here is another choice just with a black center instead(its the elanore rims) but i think this might be too much ford ya know.

No offense to those who have them, just my opinion, but I hate these wheels with a passion. It seems like ever 3rd f-body I see has them, and they do nothing for the look of the car, and the wheel itself looks cheap and small.
If you were looking at that first set of wheels, you obviously have a larger wheel budget than $400, so there's really no reason for you to get these wheels.
If you want to do a common wheel, at least get one that looks GOOD, like the TTII.
And actually, check ebay. OE Concepts just came out with a few new wheels, one looks like a Y2K Vette but with a larger lip, and the other is a C6 Z06 with a larger lip. Both are available with chrome or black centers, IIRC.
IMO the C6 ZO6 in black with the chrome lip would look HOTT.
Oh, and out of the 3 you posted, I like the Halibrands the best. There's a guy here who has them on a NBM Z, it looks pretty good actually.

If you see something on another F-Body that u like... who cares how many ppl have it? U want it because u like how it looks. The end, nuff said.

thats the thing i am not 100 percent for the first set, i like the 5 spoke wheel but it seems every car i see has some version of it i want something different to be original but mostly something i like. now in the same sense i dont want to sacrifice the look of the car in any way but i want somethin that is light weight and looks sexy as hell against the car if you get my drift. the styles i was putting up are just thoughts/something to go by.
i want them light to reduce un-sprung weight, it needs to look sick and i think that a black center with a chrome lip and a black with a deeper chrome lip in the rear would pop against an electric blue car or something of that sort. if yall have any ideas post some pics cause i am only one person and that is a damn big internet.
