Opinion on new wheels for my 06 SS
I like those wheels in the first post, they look sharp with all black.
You can do a silver G2 caliper paint that will look great or even red but I do like the silver paint on that black ss and then do a nice slotted rotor upgrade and they will look great, since you don't want to lower it get a tire that fills the wheel well nice like a good height on the tire like 225/65/18 for example not sure if that will work but get like the tallest tire it will provide a nice ride and fill in the wheel well really nicely.
The silver calipers will be a nice accent to the wheels

Thanks Mavrick. I'll look at silver paint as well. Thanks for your opinion on the wheels. Would a 225/65/18 be wide enough for 18x8 wheels?
After looking at THIS (Great tool) to determine the width and height of the tires, stock vs. aftermarket, I have decided thata 255/50/18 might be the right fit. It is a little wider and a little taller. The wheel well would fill in more and I would also get the additional width to accomidate for the 18x8 vs. the stock 18x7. It still does notmake sense that TireRack would recommend the same tire size for the 1 inch wider wheels. What do you think?
Well as I amwriting this I realize that the 255/50/18 pretty much is nota standard tire size. So I am now lookingat 255/45/18. It is only 0.1 inch smaller in radius and 0.3 inches smaller in diameter. The side wall would be 0.1 inch smaller as well. Not that bad, it isa widely available tire size and would give me a little exta width needed to fit the 18x8. Thoughts?

You can go to www.discountire.com or call them and they will tell you the best 18 inch size and tire to go with.
You can go with a 225/55/18 or 235/50/18
Check with the tire proffesionals first and its alwaysbest to call and talk to somebody live before ordering something online when it comes to wheelsor tires.

Thanks Mavrick, but TireRack is much cheaper than discount tire. I willprobably be ordering through them when I finally get around to getting the wheels/tires I want. However, I will give a local place called Tire Barn a call before I order anything and price the same items out locally. I will also get their opinion on tire size.
Thank you Rick!I like magic. lol
