C5 Deep Dish, ZR1s, R15s, WS6 or Crosslaces... Can't decide!
 
3 Attachment(s)
Well I have been putting my wheel selection on the backburner for a while now. At first I wanted to keep the crosslaces but being limited to a 245 is kinda disappointing and I dig the sleeper look but I kinda want to go away from them.

My top choice is of course the R15 Ronals. Pricey but a rare and nice design, Spacerless setup and from what I have seen it will still be fender tucked with my ls1brakes.

I started looking and found Zephers car, very similar to mine (His is a formula mine just a plain Base). Saw pictures of Vette wheels on his car and liked how the ZR1s looked. Although it will need to be lowered a bit to get the look right.

Then I saw the C5 Deep Dish on OE wheels and once again, fell in love. Amazing price as well. So far probably the 3rd choice.

Last but not least was 4th Gen WS6 wheels. Plenty of them out there in 16s, but the ones I liked were the 17s. I found one picture of them on a 91-92 Formula and liked them.


What do you guys think would look best? Dont get me wrong. I love the Crosslaces/T/A wheels. I will probably not sell them and just keep them around if I can. I am really leaning towards the R15s or C5s. I have only seen the regular c5s on mostly Camaros. I browsed the whole best wheels thread and did not find anything that amused me. Most were C6 wheels, TT2s, z06, etc


Here is a picture of my Bird with the laces. It is a old picture meaning no Tranny in there so ride height is off.

Before I had the laces I had TT2's. I loved them but with my Ls1 brakes they stuck out pretty bad in the front. I wanted to pickup 4th gen speced fronts and just run spacers to fix it but decided against it and traded the wheels to Wanab03ss for the laces and some other items. Like I said I loved the look, I never got some outside pictures of the wheels but only side shots like this one.

So just getting TT2s are a possiblity as well, I got time to decide so no worries.




Any input or pictures to aid my decision would be high fived.

I like em too but they seem to be made for Black cars and even more a true T/A. I do however like Year ones five spokes that they have...
