What looks best on a c-5? 19's and 20's chrome motorsports or 19' CCW's?

The "best"? 18/19 HREs, obviously.



But, between your choices, I'd go with the CCWs.

Between Motorsports or CCW's, I'd definelty go with the CCW's. Why not get the CCW's in 19/20" sizes?

Hi JTQuicksilver -

Personally, I think the 18F/19R setup looks the best - and it has the best tire availability from what I can see -

19"s can be dicey for finding a variety of tires in the right sizes.....

I have 19"s on all four , but they did not make 505A's in 18" when I bought mine.

best regards -

I have seen the 19/20 combo look really good, but it is not something I would do. 18/19 is as big as I would go. Mine has stock size BBS. Would have gone bigger, but really like the look.

Hey SW, that's one of the nicest Z's I've ever seen! That red thing ain't bad either.

Are those 19's all-round on the Z06?
