Default What would you do?? Wheel question...

Car: 2000 Pewter FRC


Option #1: Black Z06 with polished lip 18/19
Option #2: Black Z06 with polished lip 19/20

I think I like the way the 19/20 option look but I'm worried about ride quality and considerable difference in cost-- what are the pros and cons of each? Also--any pics?


please help I'm sooooo torn right now

I have the 19/20 Black Z06 combo myself, and I didn't notice any ride difference at all... The only thing I noticed was handeling. My car feels like its glued to the ground with the 305's in the rear and 275's up front.

When I first put them on I intentionally drove over a long strip of road dots to see if there was any difference. My girlfriend nor myself could tell.

19's and 20's do look sweet! But what profile tires do you have to go to?
