Default Need help picking between 2 wheels

I can't decide on black 10 spokes with 275 up front and 275 in back, 17 inch wheels or black ZO6's, 275/17 up front and 295/18 in back.

I know ZO6's are played out but I'd like having the wider tire in back. I like the 10 spoke design but I'm not sure how much different traction/handling I'll have.

Any insight?

Black Z06's if you get them without the rivets. Otherwise the 10spokes.

With all the people rolling on ZO6's you guys still think they're better than 10 spokes?

And yes...


But it has nothing to do with this thread.

no z06 motor sports! The rivets look horrible on z06 wheels. Get chrome z06 wheels if you get them. If you want 10 spokes get the 35th le SS wheels here are pics of my car with both. I see your car is red so here is my red car b4 i lowerd it


17x9.5 275/40's and 18x10.5 295/35's







35th le SS wheels 10 spokes

I'm trying to completely avoid all chrome. I want my car completely black/red. If I got the ZO6 (without rivets), I'd pinstripe over the chrome part with red.

Very nice car, man.

Keep the ten spokes. The black Z06's look like ***.

I don't have either yet. I'm looking for what to buy. I know a lot of people have them but the ZO6's offer an extra inch and a half in the back.
