      personal preference, but i would get some disk brakes in the rear before i upgraded to a wheel like the C5 where you can see straight through... to the drum brakes...

        what are you seeing about his car that proves to you it has drum brakes...?

        18s imo, but you already know that.

          i think that 17's are the biggest that f bodys should go. 18's and up just look too out of place.

            18s imho (I never see 18s, I've seen 20s)
            18s should look better
            17s would be great though

              The price difference between 17" tires and 18" tires is pretty big, so if you buy the right tire and dont "wear them quickly" I'd go with 18's...better yet 20's.

                most people i think will tell you 17s. i love my 17s. but 18s in back and 17s up front looks really good too!

                    17's definitely. 18's dont look right on f-bodies.

                      You could set it up just like the C6 with 19's in rear 18's in front. I have 18s all around but I'm thinking about the 19s in the rear myself.
                      Or better yet scrap the plain chrome C6s that everyone has now and find some C6 Z06s! That would be hot and something different from everyone else.

                        C6 Z06s don't go that great on fbods i don't think..the only pics i've seen they look really out of place.

                            I've got 17's. A lot cheaper and look good.
