Pictures of Z06 wheels anyone?

I was wondering if some one had some pictures of the 5 spoke open star design ones (they actually have 10 spokes, but I'm just going by the description in my summet mag). Could you also post the size of the wheel and tire with your pictures. Thanks!

Here is the description of the wheel

Quality and performance from Dante Designs.
These gorgeous ZO-6 Vette wheels feature an open 5-spoke star design. They are available in your choice of a chrome, polished, or silver finish.

I know what chrome would look like, but what is the difference b/t silver and polished? Thanks again.

Awesome. That's exactly what I wanted, to be able to compare 17's to 18's. Thanks. I think I'm going to go with the 17's. ZO6Z28, what size tire are you running. And how wide is your wheel

275/40/17 ~ 9.5 width all the way around.

Alot of guys go with 18's. But if your car is lowered, 17's will look just as good.

Thats a big mistake. Get the 18's. You will regret the 17's. I promise you.

Yeah 18's do look better because they fill up that wheel well. I would do a 18 x 9.5 in the front and 18 x 9.5 or 10 in the back. I think 17's only look good if the car is lowered. You have to get rid of that fender gap.

18's look a 100x's better. I would also get 18's x 9.5's all the way around. That way you can still rotate your tires. If you have a diff size in the back you can't rotate your tires unless you have them broken down and switched on the rim since most tires for our cars are only 1 direction.
