Wheels

I'd like to get some nice wheels for my Z28. What are some good websites to find some rims?

I'd like to try and fit 18x9 tires all around. Or have a staggered setup...what would be a good wheel combination for that?

What size 17'' rims would be best?...just in case the cost is too much for the 18's.

I want to reduce the tire to fender gap, but I don't really want to lower the car. Without lowering the car, low profile tires look a little awkward...right?

i wouldnt go w/ 18'' if it was my choice. too much weight/hp loss.

go with 17''x10.5 in the back and 17'' 9.5 in the front, if your not worried about rotation your tires. Check the chrome z06's, zr1's or maybe the tt's.

Check out the site sponsor tomzwheels he will hook u up, im sure!

Which ever size you go with, I would look at either the chrome Z06's or the chrome Zr1's.

How much weight does an 18'' wheels add as compared to a 17'' wheel? I don't think its much. I would imagine a 22'' would add a lot of additional rotational mass.

Everyone seems to have the z06 or zr1 rims. I know its very affordable, but what other rims would work with our cars?

I saw replicas for a pretty good price on ebay and that may be a little different, but I have no idea if they will look good.
