Sport Muscle Wheels-What Do You Think? Pics Added
What do you guys think of these wheels. I am think of a tire & wheel package from Tirerack. I am thinking of putting a set of Pilot Sport 2ZPs on these. For this money are the wheels OK? I am looking at the chrome ZR wheels.

I am sure they are fine but I highly suggest looking at JW Motoring's wheels...I am sure they are a MUCH better price for the same wheel or you can even get them deep dish or motorsport, or black...

They're probably ok and of decent quality. However, don't forget that you will be taking a serious hit as far as unsprung weight is concerned. They are heavy when compared to OEM thinspokes.

I don't know if the C6 style wheels that Tirerack sells are reproductions, or Genuine GM wheels. The former are made in China, and the latter are probably, too. Most of what you'd be paying, is for the Michelin tire portion of the package. Great tires, just spendy. I'd check out JW's offerings before dropping the cash on those.

Thanks guys. I ordered the chrome ZR style fitted with the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZPs. I didn't want to mess with the installers so now I get the wheels, tires, new sensors, mounted & balanced to my house for $2629.52. Just have to put them on & train the sensors. I was thinking of some new wheels for the C5 so it works out well. Thanks for all your imput. Mike
