18 in. Eagle 077 or Black z06?
I was wondering everyones opinion on the 2 wheels. I found red Camaros with each on them, close to my car... I think they both look pretty BA. My plan is to buy some wheels at the end of the summer, and get tires for my birthday. So Jeff, Sinister95Z, if you still have yours by then, I will be interested. And if anyone has the z06s at that time, keep me in mind please... Should have $500 to spend.
I can't decide.... If I got the z06s, I would do tint very soon afterward. If I got the Eagles, I don't know much else I would do for looks.

I sold my wheels awhile ago. So if you are basing any of your decision on that, you might want to re-consider. You can't go wrong with some darker tint no matter what wheels you choose in my opinion.
Out of those two wheel choices, I would go with the Z06 wheels just because they are black. I like the look of black/red combo...

Yeah, I like the black/red look too. I was hoping to be able to find some Eagles on eBay, but I can never find the 18in. ones. And the z06s are all over, so they seem like the better choice anyway. And I've never seen these before, but they look sweet!

I don't care for the Egales at all, never have never will.
The Z06's look good in the black, the silver ones won't look that good on the car though so go with the black ones you have pictured.

I can't find a picture of the wheels linked on a Camaro, anywhere! But they are sweet wheels, and I wish I could see them on a Camaro... And would that lip create a problem with the offset, by making them stick out rediculously far or anything?
I'd take your zr1's too

I think the eagles look better. It needs somethin to brightin things up IMO. Since Its all black and red, It looks good but personally I like to have atleast a lil somethin in there to brightin it up a bit.

Oh, Chad, I'd seen those pictures, just thought they were old... I like Smoothies too. I was going by your sig and avatar....
As for brightening things up, I think maybe clear corners, and the machined lip would shine it up a bit...

Just putting this out there... If anyone is good enough in photoshop to chop the linked wheels on, I would love to see it! I know it would be hard, since it doesn't show the entire rim, but anything would be appreciated.

I just found 5 spokes with a lip... And I like that the front is 17 x 9.5 and rear is 18 x 10.5... I think it would look sweet... Now I just want black wheels with a lip, screw the Eagles! But I do like the rivets.
I think I'm just making things harder for myself.

I wanted Eagle 077s forever.. they are impossible to find, and if you do find them they are usually expensive or curb rashed to hell.
I changed my mind, and Im very glad I did. While I love how eagles look, the black with the lip IMO, would look better. Im not a huge fan of rivits (weird, becuase my wheels have them) I got used to mine, but I never really cared for them much.
