C6 ZR1 wheels on a Bird? Posted By: Tyrel On: 09-29-2009 @ 21:59:14 Reply | Edit So i am thinking of going with a C6 ZR1 18 on my TA. Anyone seen this? --  Posted By: ChimpysZ28 On: 09-29-2009 @ 22:06:42 Reply | Top | Edit  there ok...but i would say deep dish rims --  [ Edited on 09/29/2009 @ 22:07:15 ] Posted By: Tyrel On: 09-29-2009 @ 22:18:38 Reply | Top | Edit damn thats a sexy car. -- Posted By: Tyrel On: 09-29-2009 @ 22:25:10 Reply | Top | Edit answered my own question. 
I like em. I originally wanted deep dish, but there are too many ricers around here rocking dee dish 5 spoke rims. -- Posted By: ThumperNC24 On: 09-29-2009 @ 23:00:24 Reply | Top | Edit I would def. go a different route on a bird if I were you.... There at lot of wheels I like more than those. I think the Z06 wheels look better for that style.. --

Not a good style at all. -- Raise your hand if you think pirate likes cocks. Posted By: jumper297 On: 09-30-2009 @ 07:32:08 Reply | Top | Edit Agreed. Doesn't match the car at all. My preference on rims is that it should look like it could have been the designers choice or a factory option, not something bought off of TireRack.com and bolted onto the car. There are no sharp lines on a 4th gen bird so a rim that is all sharp angles and edges looks terrible, at least that particuler one does. For a cheaper and better looking option I'd go with something like Thumper has on his car. -- 95 Formula 1 of 7,448

Howabout a stock C6 wheel? the solid 5 spokes. i really like the ones on my Dads car, i think they might look good on a Bird. Pics? Other ideas with pics would be helpful. Birdman, i literally saw 4 right hand drive early 90's skylines with your wheels the other day at the track, i decided then that i was over them, -- Posted By: 4Birdman On: 09-30-2009 @ 09:03:31 Reply | Top | Edit Now you see my dilemma with my wheels. --

I am not a huge fan of running a spacer, but they say you will need ~1/4" spacer on the front, and then of course stiffer wheel studs too.... -- 99 Pewter Trans Am M6 - FLP LTs, Corsa Catback, BMR STB, UMI Adj.

i personally like these better -- Posted By: cochran191 On: 09-30-2009 @ 14:05:10 Reply | Top | Edit I want C6's for my Camaro, but they do look great on the TA's also. -- 99 Black Z-28 "Stripper" M6, SS Ram Air Hood, Borla Cat-Back, J&M Strut Tower Brace, B&M Ripper Shifter, Whisper Lid Posted By: Tyrel On: 09-30-2009 @ 14:37:00 Reply | Top | Edit If i ran with a 17 X 9.5 up front would i still need a spacer? i like the staggered look. After running Vettes, i prefer the stagger. I also want an aggressive stance, any suggestions? http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Camaro-Wheels/By-Finish/Chrome/18-Camaro-C5-Deep-Dish-p6902051-3-1.html -- Posted By: ThumperNC24 On: 09-30-2009 @ 15:20:20 Reply | Top | Edit I don't like the staggered look at all personally, I think it just makes the front wheels look to small. IMO 18s all the way around are the best look on an fbody. and no, you shouldn't need a spacer on the 17x9.5s......OE wheels has said they are going to be releasing an 18x9.5, but it is a couple of months away....... Strano Springs and Konis - you know I have been preaching this for quite some time. Eibach LT1 Pro kit will be just a hair lower, that is what I run, but the rates aren't quite as desirable as the stranos.... Chimpy, of course Iforged, 360Forged, Fikse, and CCW are going to be the best wheels out there, and they definitely look the best, but we are looking in the <$1000 range I believe. For any of those, you are looking at $3000+, otherwise the SP500s are a no brainer. Actually I think my favorite T/A wheel is the CCW505A.... --

I should just rip you off thumper lol. what width are you running? -- Posted By: Tyrel On: 09-30-2009 @ 15:47:06 Reply | Top | Edit 
I like these as well. 17x10 front 17x12 rear... that would allow for some crazy tires. Crazy expensive that is. lol -- Posted By: Tyrel On: 09-30-2009 @ 15:48:18 Reply | Top | Edit My Dad also wants new wheels for his Vette. Should i just steal his stockers? -- Posted By: drauka On: 09-30-2009 @ 16:57:24 Reply | Top | Edit I was looking at c6 zr1 replica wheels, they look so good. But now that i see them on an fbody (photoshopped albeit) i dont care for them anymore. Thanks for saving me that blunder. I like thumpers wheels. I like the fikse fm10's the best though. But as was mentioned....they're 3000 plus.

I like these a lot too, available in 18x9.5 - Stern ST-1  ADR M-Sport and M-Classics look pretty decent too RPM R-505s are pretty much exactly the same as my wheels without the rivets, and they come in 18x9.5, the problem is they only have the hyper silver finish. I much much much prefer the hyper dark finish so they were a no go for me. Ruff 278s also look pretty good  -- 99 Pewter Trans Am M6 - FLP LTs, Corsa Catback, BMR STB, UMI Adj.

^ the RR 278's are no longer made, you may be able to get a used set. its going to be very hard to find them in 18's. I have one of the last few sets made. 18x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. -- lsxltx.com Posted By: crunkmaro On: 09-30-2009 @ 20:57:22 Reply | Top | Edit

or for you? -- Posted By: 2piececrank On: 08-01-2009 @ 00:00:56 Reply | Top | Edit Sarav, how hard is it to follow Nietzsche?

However i do like these: 
my god, i am going to end up with the exact same look Dr. Pongo had. I do not like these in chrome on a TA, doesn't have that :evil: look im going for.  -- Posted By: ThumperNC24 On: 11-16-2009 @ 14:13:39 Reply | Top | Edit I actually think the only one I like of those is the black TA with chrome. To me the first two just look really cheap. --
