Opinions...

[Docta]

Alright, I'm going to get some new wheels and tires here pretty soon, and I'm looking for some advice.

I know I'm going to get either some
A) American Racing
B) Modified stock
C) Mock Corvette

And out of that,
A) Black
B) Gunmetal
C) Chrome

My car is very black right now, and the wheels look trashy because I was stupid and rattle-can'd them... Flat black.

Also, my tires have always been the wrong size. What size would be best if I get 16's or 17's?

There's pictures on the FQuick if you wanna see.
And of my TA for those who think I was lying about having it.

Re: Opinions...

My vote is 17x9 gunmetal C5 thin spokes with 275/40/17 tires.

This.

Re: Opinions...

I like both... I'm really a fan of gunmetal. Are the C5/6's expensive?

Re: Opinions...

Check out OEwheelsllc(sp?) on ebay, they have very good deals, I got my C6 Z06 replicas from them with tires, balanced and shipped for around 1000 bucks.

Re: Opinions...

Are the any other options out there besides Corvette rims? I need replacments soon and people wonder why I painted mine blue and its because of the lack of options.

There is plenty of room for you to be unique. Corvette wheels are simply universally liked. So long as you get the right bolt pattern and offset, there are literally hundreds of other options. Check out an online wheel simulator.

Docta, these are the wheels I'm talking about,



And I'd agree that chrome on mostly otherwise blacked out isn't ideal. Example, my car:



If I didn't find them so cheap, I'd have gone a different direction.

Re: Opinions...

Nice ride schlotzky! Go for whatever you can afford i.m.o. lol All the Vette Replica's look good but lack the originality i guess.

Re: Opinions...

Schlotzky, I would hug you if it wasn't so homo. Or its guy-love. Who knows.... Those are exactly what I was looking for. And I think this is the right link?
