Thinking About These Rims 4 The Roc

So I'm thinking about going to these Ruff wheels for my IROC in 18's what do you guys think?
My LS1 IROC


The Ruff 278 Wheels in Hyper black.

Man picking rims is hard.

I think when you are posting a question about your car or looking for opinions you should post it in the general A&D section, not in the Member's Rides section (which is soley for posting pictures of your car to show off)

I like the rims, though! Not different from what appears to be black Z06 rims w/ the polished rivets that you already have.

Re: Thinking About These Rims 4 The Roc

personal preference i dont like more than 17" and im definately a fan of the silver wheels as opposed to the black ones. They are really good lookin wheels tho, and ive always thought our thirdgens are kinda hard to pick wheels for because a lot of the clasics just dont look good on em (cragars etc.) my vote is the silver in 17". tires are probably cheaper for 17's too.

Re: Thinking About These Rims 4 The Roc

The silver would look way better than the black wheels. I would go with a 17 inch wheel as opposed to 18 inch.

Re: Thinking About These Rims 4 The Roc

I am also thinking about getting these wheels. I am between these and the C6 wheels. If you take the plunge I would love to see how they look. When I first wanted to go c6 nobody else had, now it seems everyone if going to c6 wheels. O well maybe this is a chance to be different.

The only other question is hyper black vs chrome.... to many decisions

BTW can we get 18x9.5's under the back end if the car is lowered 1.25"
