Thrown in all directions for wheels. dayum.

I was planning on going with ZR1 rims painted black with a chrome lip. That was until i saw these rims. Anyone have opinion on what wheels i should do? o and the American racing ones come in 17x9 and 18x10. And the Zr1s would be 17x11 and 17x9.5?

I dont really like the staggered size look on third gens...it doesnt flow to me...not a bad looking rim id paint the rivets black though.

either one will look good... its just that do you want a 11inch or 10 inch wide tire in the rear? can you live with a 275 tire or at most a 285 tire?

i'd love to see that 18x10 all around..that would look mean and handle well.

i love to have a 11inch wide wheel and thats one reason i'm seriously thinking of 11inch wide Zr1's for my car but then again, 200 bucks + a tire is a big much
