Default Wheel help?

I want to get some wheels on my black/mod red z. Can't make up my mind on 19/20 or 18/19. Also chrome or black polished lip. Give me hand on what you guys think would look best? Pics would help best if possible. Car is getting slammed also. I like the balck wheels but don't want to get tiredd of them.

Thanks in advance, Kyle

Yeah those are really nice wheels and your car looks great. They are only available in polished and I have polished wheels on my SS camaro and im not going though that again. If they came in chrome tht woul be sweet but ccw said they don't so.

Default Go to...

Go to the West Caost Corvette catalog..thay show a slammed Z06 with 19/20 black rim combo....Just like my Z06 (silver 04). I get compliments everytime I drive it...Bilstiens are a bit harsh though...Ride is a lot rougher, but way worth the handling.
