Tire Advice
I'm sorry but I tried all search result but couldn't get an answer.
I am about to buy new rims, it is going to be either black motorsports or black z06 wheels without screws all around. Anyone knows which type is lighter?
ALso I am debating between set of 18s or a set of 18/19.
What tire size shoud I look for 18*10.5 wheel for back? how about 19*11 wheel?
Are the any tires that have good wet performance? Any tires that are run flat? Will I have problems with 18s all around?
Thanks alot

I've seen cars with the same size all around and I think they looked weird, but practically speaking, it changes the way the car sits to have all same sized wheels. I was looking at 18/19 combo for a while and found that to be a good size for me. Just be careful about the width in the front so you don't rub.
As for tires in 18/19 sizes ... sorry...no help there. I never got past finding rims.

The wheels with the bolts on the rim are called Z06 Motorsport and they are slightly heavier than the chrome or black Z06 style without the rivets. Don't let a few pounds change your choice get what you like and as far as the sizes look on the forum there,s a ton of great looking tire & wheel combo's on display.
