Default Wheels need advice/ help choosing
? for you guys I've been looking for a new set of wheels for a while and have narrowed it down to 2 I like the Zo7 wheels (2006-2008 zo6 whels) and the zr1 repo wheels. They are both available in 18 & 19's however the zr1 repos only come in 10" wide for the rear. That wheel is the one I really want. On the other hand I want to run a 315 rear size tire. A 295 on the rear if the repo wheel may not be wide enough for the look I want, but the wheel is the look I'm depressed..............
The z07 wheel is 11' wide but the look is simmiler to the factory 5 spoke I currently using.. and not that apealing... Help me decide??? Thanks

Couldn't you get the ZR1s and have a shop widen them?
