    Need help with choice of wheels?

    Here are some of the options I am looking at:

    They are all different styles of a basic Z06 wheel.

    1) Black Chrome
    2) Silver Motorsport
    3) Black Machined
    4) Stock wheel (as reference)

    Remember that the car is a yellow Z06.

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    Silver Motorsport

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    black machined

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    My choice would be Black Chrome. It'll complement the VY very well.

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    Think the black machined will go nicely with the yellow. It is a lighter color, so the wheels will have a nice contrast. Nice wheel design by the way

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    I like the black chrome the best of those. Personally I would paint a set matte black.

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    My personal fav is #2, Silver Motorsport, but I'm sure that black chrome will look stunning on a yellow car.

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    Black machined!

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    yellow + Black Chrome =

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    I am leaning toward the "black chrome". It is subtle, clean, different, yet classy. I am worried that the silver or black motorsports will be too much on the car, and make it look too "hot wheels", if you know what I mean.

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    Black Machined, seconded

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    Black chromed or black machined, but black chromed is the nicer looking wheel IMO.

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    dayum, its a tough call, u cant go wrong with neither one...

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    If any of those screw heads are fake (and the ones in the center cap look suspicious), I would vote against the wheels.

    Gotta put those stylists and posers in their place: don't buy faked-up products.

    IMHO, of course.

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    Thanks to all for helping me choose a wheel package. I finally decided to go with the black chrome vs. the motorsport wheels...I wanted something different, but slightly understated. I thought the motorsports might be too much flash on top of an already flashy yellow car.

    I am slowly getting use to this car and have now had her on the track 2 times. Even though the car is softer and has more body roll than my previous car, it is pulling faster lap times. You just don't realize how fast you are taking the corners until you look at the speedo. So far nothing has touched it at the track, except a GT3 on similar tires. He was pulling the same or slightly faster corner speeds, but I was killing him on the straits. Like I said before, the car is a little soft for the track, and would do better with some tweaking.

    I already put an intake on the car. we got about 18rwhp, which I was suprised, but that was with a tune..it was runing slightly lean stock, and we significantly cleaned up the mid-range.

    The next step is a set of headers and cross-over pipe, which should give me another 25rwhp for a total of 550'ish. That is perfect, and I will go no further. The motor itself unlike the LS1/2/6 needs nothing to get significant power.

    I am ordering a set of Bilstein coil-overs and competition sway bars. Once I drove the car, I knew while super fast, it needed stiffer springs and better dampers for the super sticky tires I run at the track. So, I decided to ditch the leaf spring set up and go with a set of race prepped coil-overs around 750lbs vs the 625+- the stock spring rate. The T1 bars are about 1/3 stiffer and should keep the car flatter in the curves.

    I'll keep you guys posted on the results...

    Figured I would share a photo with them on...what do you think? unfortunately, the file was too large to upload.

    Tell your neighbor to break out the lawnmower

    Car looks great.

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    pics were taken at my friends house...but you are very observant

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    My car is yellow also. I have the stock - Competition Gray wheels. I think the black chrome will look nice. I really like the gray. They're the same color as brake dust

    Re: Need help with choice of wheels?

    Very badass
