i have an 01 pewterbird and i have been thinkin about buyin some new wheels and tires. i currently have the stock wheels wrapped in bf goodrich 235/55/16R's. should i just get a new set of wheels that fit my tires or should i just get a set of 18's with some bigger tires. is there anything special about 18's or whatever other than the look?

Re: wheels and tires
x2 on the 17's front 18's rear setup...that's what i plan on going with for my z06 replicas...still looks awesome and has a great stance but doesn't sacrifice as much performance as larger wheels might. I'm kinda in the same boat as you tho, i need tires pretty badly but i'm waiting to get them for my new rims instead of the stockerspacesetters|full 3" borla exhaust|3" stainless e-cutout|slp cai & ram intake|c/f whisper lid|tbs|eibach|kyb|stb|sfc's|adj.lca's & phb|slp fan|b&m t5|180*|z06 17x9.5|8000k hids|hptuners|d/s rotors

Re: wheels and tires
Sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat. I too have been tossing around the same question for my pewter Camaro and I think I'll eventually end up getting 17s all the way around, probably the deep dish chrome C5s. Also been thinking about black with a polished lip (they're a little cheaper), but chrome never goes out of style.
