Should I get these wheels?

Someone in my area may want to trade my 275/40-17 Z06 wheels which are black with chrome lip (pictures below). The other guy has 18" RPM Racing Rims which rear is 275/35-18 and front 245/40-18 also black with chrome lip (pictures below). Let me know if you think it would look good on my car. Thanks guys!

I say go for it.Those are some nice looking wheels.You won't see them on every other Camaro on the road,unlike the Vette wheels that are all over like the ones you have now.

Thanks for your opinion bro, thats exactly what I was telling my friend today. Cause I did a search on black rims and dang the 80% of the people who posted pictures had black Z06 wheels, if not that it was black ZR1's. Once again thanks brotha!

Ide say go for it. I dont really like the 17" ZO6s, they just look odd if theyre not 18"s. Those other wheels do look nice with the bigger lip.

I say go for it! I like the RPMs better and the ZO6's are just way too common

Personally, I don't like them. But don't let that stop you if you like them.

I'll take any opinions bro. I spoke to the guy today and told him if anything I will be ready to swap next week. Just need to get the tires I ordered mounted and balanced before the swap. He has brand new tires on his too.

Re: Should I get these wheels?

It looks like they achieve the wide lip with a small offset, moving the wheel/tire outside the fender line. If you've seen the wheels on his car and like the way they look, then go for it.
