  • Opinion on Rims

    I'm getting a new set of rims and such for my car, just wondering what would look the best and what in diameter. I personally like the C5 or Z06's and never sure on the type of tire...if I could get some opinions from some people it would help :)

    Might be best in the appearance section :tup: If you don't want to start a new thread, i'm sure a mod will move it

      usually these types of threads are in the appearance section ;)

      as far as wheel diameter, I prefer 18s because it fills the wheel well a little more, but does sacrifice a little on performance because of the size. thats one reason some people get the 17s. as far as tires, do a search on what size is recommend and go to tirerack.com and read the tires reviews. find the best tire in your budget and never look back. great site and great review/rating system.

        "performance" is such a broad and unspecific statement.....
        I know you're not saying that 18s handle worse than 17s!
        Actually it is the opposite
        You are trying to say that 18s have more parasitic drag

          yes. when I talk performance, I'm talking at the drag strip. What else is there? turning is for getting on and off the track. Pray to god you never have to turn on the track :p

            17"/18" they will look great and if you want to go to the strip just get some different rims for that
