Wheel decision
I am in desperate need of new tires, so while I am replacing tires I thought I go ahead and get some new wheels. I have narrowed my choices but can't decide between these. Which should I go with?And they are all 18" x9.5

#1 I originally said #2 thinking your Vette was black looking at your screen name. Then I checked your profile and it says the Vette is Green. So I'd go with #1 for something different.

You betcha Gary.
On his car (w/ the color taken into consideration) the C6 Z06 wheels in that finish would look excellent. 9.5's all around wouldn't be be bad either, esp from a rotation standpoint, but the 18x10's would give it a bit more meaty profile out back and possibly fill out the wheel wells a bit more too.

I have someone intrested in them right now, but if they do not get them I will let you know. They are chrome Z06 wheels 17''s with 275/40/17 tires all around. The two front tires are ok still have tread, back tires need to be replaced. All the wheels are in good condition, but the back wheel has a small curb rash on rim, can barely notice. I will sell all 4 wheels and all 4 tires for 450

With the finish on the C6 wheels (looks like gun metal grey) I think they would go much better with the green.
Had the Vette been black I wiuld have definitly said #2. I just don't think black wheels witht the green Vette would look good. IMO.
I do think though that the 10's out back would be nice for the meaty look or else go with 285's in the rear will also will give a toned down version of the "meaty look"
Good luck on your desicion.
Gary
