I am trying to find the best kind of aftermarket polished Z06 wheels. I am going to do 18x9.5 all around.
I see a lot of guys selling them and dont know if one is better than the others.
Also, is an offset of 57 or 53 better?
Thanks for the input.

sidenote - just weighed them-
the 17x9.5 weighs in at 19.2 lbs -
the 18x10.5 weighs in at 22.2 lbs -
really surprised at how light they are - :)

Are polished rims harder to keep clean than chromed/painted?

dont know yet- but i've had bad experience with chrome rims flaking and pitting in the past, and not a fan of the painted look.
also car is being painted matte black, and having alluminum badges made to match factory ones, so think polished alluminum's gonna be the best look for the car

Yes polished is harder to keep but if you want the best it's worth the effort. Thats just my 2 cent's.
