rims/wheels etc
 

my brother and I are shopping around and going with these styles (I'm battling myself on 17 vs 18"), but we're looking at buying 2 sets same size.

silver z06

silver c6

hyper black

I'll prob go with the c6 hypers as he'll go with the z06 silvers.

opinions welcome.

they should look good. What color is ur brothers forumla?

ive never been a fan of vette wheels on T/A's But if you like them then go with it.

im more a fan of the 5star look on them like the stocks or hawk rims, but can't find anything like it except these.
brothers formy is silver.

Yeah thats my problem too. i keep thinking about it and what the hell would i put on my car if not for firehawks or speedlines? camaros are so much easier to buy wheels for. haha wich stockers do you like the straight spoked 5's or the speedlines?

ya but ta's can pull off the bbs style wheels or a more modern looking wheel and camaros have to go with some thing that still looks more like a muscle rim to look right

I'm waiting for a set of C5 magnesium wheels to pop up for sale around here, I want those wheels!!!

I say go with hyper silver itll look sick.

So true. I went around in circles for a long time and the only wheels I was ever really happy with the look of was 96-00 WS6 wheels. Firehawk wheels are pretty cool though, both the LT1 and LS1 styles. Speedlines look good but they just don't look as mean as the 96-00 style.

heres a way to make up ur mind lol...i couldnt find a pic with the hyper black but i have to say i actually LOVE the way the C6 wheels look! they both look alot better than i expected to be honest

C6

DUDE 26" PimpStars!!!! Fuckin DO ITT!!!!

i love those wheels!!! till i called them and found out how much they cost hahaha

Ehh im not a fan. too big of a spoke for me. i LOVEEEEEEE CCW's on NBM!!!!! but Red would look too busy i think? i say run with the hyper black C6's!!! will look damn good!

thinken c6 hypers myself...

i don't really have anthing to help u with a wheel choice, but the c6 zo6 wheels in black are definitly going on my car in the future when i have money.

DO IT!

They look good on that car but that one need to be lowered by about 2 ft! lol

yeah stock height is a tad high, may drop it a bit

wow thats a steal!

heres one in grey... looks like 18's

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...4YueHhi_ph.jpg

thats because those are staggared the rears are 18's fronts are 17's Looks DAMN AWESOME!!!

Personally I'm not crazy about C6 wheels, except on a C6 of course. But if you like them then do it up!

17x9.5 and drop it 1.25''...

have fun with that. lowered cars suck around here, bottom out a scrape most the stores humped driveways. i could never lower my car.

if i could lower 1'' i would for appearance but it's not necessary

wheel hops like a bitch too lol

so whats the verdict did u grab em?

gotta wait till i get my tax return

All that foreplay and you say later. That's cruel Demon

id get 1" BMR springs. little stiff BUT thats why you wont bottom. and its just enough to drop the wheel gap and not fuck with LCA angles and shit. 1.25 and up your gunna need relocation brackets or suffer severe wheel hop.

The BMR spring set is the one Im getting after I put on the C6 Z06 18" chromes I got for the Z.

you guys all want to go lower im thinking of doing a shock upgrade and putting a bag in the rear spring LOL

i MAY or may not use the Eibach bag boomer if not you can have it to see if you like it? May or may not fit stock diameter spring??

the bags do fit stock springs, lil snug but fit and work.
we'll see how she sits on the new shoes then make a decision on springs, most likely 1'' if any.

I got my tax return today!!! so haha...
Vacation = paid,
new wheels for the bird = processing,
new rubber for the new wheels = pending...

nice! cant wait to see pics!

gotta get rubber too... shopping around for decent low cost rubber is a bitch when town fair gives you the FU look and my brother gets fuct with (big to do when looking up $$ options and all of a sudden the $$ goes up lately.
good set of kumho's on tire rack though, or maybe the sales rep will get back to me about pricing with tires.
