Default Need wheel suggestions!!

So, been thinking about getting some bigger wheels for the LTZ, The 17 inch machined face alloys are okay looking, but the clear has started corroding on 2 of them, plus i want something that stands out a little more. I'm really looking for 18's or 19's probably chromed.

Ive been thinking about the American Racing VN 425 TT SL listed at the site below, but im just not great at visualizing how theyd look on the car

WHEELS | American Racing

Anybody else got any ideas?

You can go to discount tires web site...

They have a simulator ... just click on your ride... and type wheel and it will give you a visual of what it would look like...
I think Tire rack.com also has a simulator!

I am a big fan of simple 5 spoke rims in these cars. Seems to go very well with the curved lines

Yeah, in my opinion, I would look at TireRack or American Racing. Some of the styles I've seen in those spots were real nice. I have a gen6 and I purchased my rims and tires from TireRack so I can speak for them that their site is just as informative as this 1 if you know what you're looking at.

I like the style of the wheels you linked to, but the smallest size they come in is 20x10. I don't think you'll fit a 10" wide wheel under the car without rubbing issues.

If you go back onto their site and look at the TT SL's in chrome and scroll all the way to the bottom of the size listing, they have 18x7, 18x8, and 18x9! although having a ten inch wide wheel would be awesome!
