New wheels (Z06)
I put them on a few days ago. It was a tough choice, but I couldn't really find anything that looks better than these in my opinion (style and size).
They're OC Concepts 17x8.5 wrapped in Hankook 255/40 high performance tires.

Maybe its just me, but I think they could stand to come outward toward the fender about 1/4"-1/2" or so....
Other than that, they look great! :yes:

Almost but not really. LBSZ28BLOWN has 17x11 tucked in there real tight. The other picture is of the "fat tired/stink bug" look. Funny as hell but also just as ugly. 
To stay on topic, Chomp, that looks pretty good.

If the wheels are so far it doesn't look right to me. I had the Z06's on my LS1 Formula and I still thought they could come out a bit.
If they are too far in, it looks like a lowrider, VATO!

Thanks for the compliments guys.
The wheels sit in almost exactly the same position as the stock ones, which is what I wanted.
That white camaro with the 11" wide tires looks too... chubby to me. It will launch like crazy though!
Also when I lower it, I don't want the tires to rub on the outside of the fender. Speaking of lowering it, what are some good lowering springs or what is a good lowering kit. My friend works at a car accesories shop and can get some high quality ones for $250 but it sounds kinda pricey..

Personally, I'm a fan of how BMW's sit. Their wheels come out almost flush with the fender. They have a night tight suspension that allows some movement...but they dont rub. I dont really like 'bags' or 'hydros' or any other lowering techniques that would require wheels to be tucked inside the fender too far.
Something like this looks pretty good:

Chomp those rims are sweet! Whenever I get new rims its either those or the ZR1's. The ride looks great too, I like the blackouts. Do you live in Fresno? I though I saw your name in the west coast boards. Oh for springs I would go with the Eibach Sportlines

mike83z-28:
I live in Selma, which is like 20 min south of Fresno if you're not familiar, although I lived in clovis for a while about 5 months ago.
I go to FSU so I'm in fresno just about every other day.
BTW, I just ordered the sportlines from thunderracing.com. They have them on sale tomorrow for $360 with a panhard rod and brackets.
