Default Which wheels?
Ok, I know this should be a an easy answer, but I wanted to see what you guys thought. I was currently running OE Z06 wheels with kumho ecsta mx 275/40/17 and 295/35/18's. I have just put on some Kinesis K59 wheels that are 315/35/17's all around. What do you think looks the best on the car.

You do know you can't run the same size tires on all four corners.

Honestly I think the stock Z06 wheels look better on your car.

I can always do a different color on the kinesis along with stainless bolts. I couldn't decide what design of wheel I liked better. Thanks for all the replies thus far.

I pick the Z wheels because I can't see the others..

Stock Z wheels for sure.

Also you can't run the same size tire as others have said front and rear.
