Help me choose new shoes for my vette

I know there's a ceetain look you're gunning for but the results would be atrocious with those wheels //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Have you looked at the the new Z06 wheels? They make them in 20 x 11 and I think would look sick on any C3 - C7 corvette

11" wide too... Those badboys would give the vette a mean stance //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smokin.gif.f1dc8d2acb1809e863ebd6a47eaa0d45.gif

I cant afford new rims guys, thats why I have these two choices //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif The price im getting these sets for the 22's only $900 with new tires, and the 20's for 700 with new tires.....its pretty stupid cheap.

big rims ****..ive invested more than 4k in rims in the last couple years..biggest waste of money after each set has cracked.

lo-pro tires just dont provide enough cushion. Im rolling 15"s from now on.

Say it isn't so //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

But srsly, understanding more out of those 2 I would go for the 20's I honestly don't see much difference other than a lot of shiney chrome, I just don't really think 22's would fit all too well on that vette and the 20's look a little cleaner and smoother in style.

 

[snoopdan 5,000+ posts]

Yeah i'll prob go with the 20's on the vette, .... I just hate my Zr1's, they're so "dated" - ya know ?

Maybe i'll just buy both and put the 22's on the jeep //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

And for amps, yeah.... im pretty burnt out on the competition thing at the moment, ive been going at it for 3 years now non-stop. Takes its toll //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I'm like you on the competition stuff...That why I decided to go a different route and sell my Explorer

 

[quakerroatmeal 10+ year member]

I'd say give it a nice drop. Would make it look tons better. Those rims that you chose belong on SUV's not a vette..

Yea its pretty much all you see on vettes, rarely do they do anything different, I dunno I always liked black with red, so maybe even powder coaded black Zr1's could look cool for cheap. Corvette purists can be the worst ever, if its not vette it sucks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Yea pretty much anything can get boring after doing it for soo long. As long as you enjoyed it while you were in it, just don't rush off to sell all your stuff cause you know the second you do you will want to compete again lol

thats a whole entire can of worms, I had purchased hydraulic pumps/dumps/hoses/springs to juice it, but had problems finding cylinders that would mount on "well". I looked into doing an airbag setup (which includes replacing the stock fiberglass springs with arm brackets for air bags) and that ended up being $3,000+ ... so rims seemed to be an alternative //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

and remember all, if it doesnt look right or rides really fux0red, I can just slap the rims on my Jeep.

And Lousiana_crx, yeah im totally burnt out at the moment. I need to add all sorts of shit to my jeep but I just cant bring myself to do it. I wanted to start messing with my vette for awhile for something else than super mega mondo SPL competition.

If you have to get one of those sets I would get the 22s off the charger. But IMHO I don't think either set would look great on the vette. I'm not saying don't put big rims on it, but neither of those sets are the right style for it IMO.

yup.
