Well after thinking about it today I decided that rims would be nice to have. But I need to start putting money elsewhere. I will be buying replacements for the ones that were damaged, new tires for the winter and the rest is going towards my student loans.
That means I will finally get to do a burnout comp video that i've been wanting to do for awhile :D

Since we are also trying to teach, I am going to add some specifics to phantom comments above
OEM = 235/55r16
The 235 is the width of the tire IN MILLIMETERS
The 55 is the tire height IN PERCENT OF WIDTH
The 16 is rim diameter IN INCHES
This all plays together to determine the circumference of the wheel with the tire on it. For speedo reasons, unless you have an HPP3 or can adjust the speedo calibration, you need to keep the circumference the same.
235 mm converted to inches is (25.4 mm/in) = 9.25 " wide
I found a good deal on stock chrome rims... So I just bought a set of 4... I can use my old tires on these so I won't have to buy tires for awhile and I will have a spare set incase something happens.

Paid 550 for the set.. 145 for shipping.. a total of 695...

FYI. your stock rim is a 16. The Z06 is a 17. I dont know what the heck all these other people had to say, but yes, you will need new rim & tire sizes.
I am happy to announce that I have sold the site to Robert (FirebirdGT). Years ago this site went down when TealV6 had it, I bought it, refreshed it,...
Building the Tom Henry RS Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff. By: Hib Halverson

We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
