Default which look??
so im in a debate..i just picked up some new c6z replicas..and im short on cash so im thinken about selling something..i love the c6z rims but the tires arent that great and i don't want to spend anymore money on rubber

should i sell the c6z rims and stay with my stock wheels that have good tires and drag radials or keep the c6z rims and sell my front stockers..i want to keep the rears with the drag radials for the track. and if i keep the c6z rims im going to have them painted black with red lip.

how much would be a good asking price for the c6z replicas with decent pirellis on them..rims are 19/18 in c5z offsets..305s out back.275s up front

I'd stick with the C5Z rims - they look good on your car.
