what rims?

ok guys so i want to know what style rims can i get in 20" and 18" or 19" and 18" i want 18s on the front and 19 or 20 on the back. so i need to find a rim that has both sizes. i need to know where i can get them and around how much they cost ( im not rich you know) also they need to be chrome or aluminum. i think aluminum that big would look sick. thanks

Re: what rims?

Do searchs for C6, Z06, and those Iroc 18" rims... Theres lots more but you have something to search around for now...

As for anything bigger then 18" on our cars man... this is my personal opinion but I know it is shared by the majority... it starts to look a little funky on our cars.

17s up front and 18s on the rear would look good.

Re: what rims?

AR has chrome IROC rims in 18". Also look at the torqlite in 17 and 18".

Thesickness has a pics on the board with 19's on front and 20's out back.

Remember 20's ARE big $$.

Personally keep them 18" or below. 19 and 20" rims tend to overpower the car.

Re: what rims?

I just got some C5 wheels, 17/18 combo

Be VERY aware that tire prices become crazy above 17"

Re: what rims?

i at the very least i want 18s but if i have to get 18 they need to be aluminum. but i love thesickness's car with the 20" irocs. thats where i got the idea. but aluminum wold look better. i'm not to worried about tire prices becaus it is not my dd. but i do worry about the price of the rims because i drive the car HARD and dont want to have to worry about my rims gettin hurt. i do like the c6 and the irocs but not the zo6. imo they dont look right on cars w/o ground fx . anybody know of any other styles? thanks for the replies. i know 20s are huge but i want somthing extreme to set my car apart.

Re: what rims?

I think BOZE wheels are the best because you can custom order them what ever size you want. 20 may be too much the side wall will be small so if you drive hard your more likely to damage the wheel. just what I think, 18s' look good. I'd rather have fun driving the sh%t out of the car than worry about what some thinks of it. plus it's a third gen so its already set apart and super cool.
