I've stared at picture after picture of wheels...trust me. Luckily I've got so much time to decide lol. I considered 22s for the longest time, but ultimately settled with 20s, otherwise finding those nice drag radials becomes impossible. Mainly to stick with the NT05r that Nitto makes. I like the forgestars a lot, but want something more concave with a similar simple spoke patter. I'm hoping 20" race wheels get more common as time passes because there's not much out there that blows me away. I like the Cor Wazaras and 360 Forged concave mesh 8. I like the black ZL1 wheels a LOT, but I think they belong on the ZL1. I don't understand all these guys putting Zl1 pieces on their SSs, but I don't want to offend anyone by saying more! There's always the price though...Cor Wazara for $4,000 or similar Forgestar for $1200. The 360s have been my favorite for a while though. Pretty sure they're more than the Cors too!

ADV1's are on my short list...but somebody already has an open order in for a set of Replica SSX wheels and those are a hell of a lot cheaper than ADV1s.

Some call em ZL1 wheels but we all know where they really came from....

Those can be the track/winter wheels anytime!

The one thing that I do like about the ZL1 front end is the open design. I hate the fog light setup but the fact that it sucks up so much air is awesome and ingenious. The downfall is that all that air needs to go someplace.....so unless you have a heat extractor style hood, you might as well be pulling a parachute behind your whip.

Eh....time will tell. There were things that I hated about my car even weeks after I picked it up. But now, I'd live in the damn thing.
