Black FD: RH C2's or Volk GTP's

I need to stay under $2000 for wheels. I chose 17x8.5 for the front and 17x9 to 17x10 for the rear. Whick one of these wheels or if you have another suggestion under $2000 let me know. My car has an Apexi kit on it and it is painted black. Thanks.

i prefer racinghart C2s

my friend has a red FD with 18x8.5 in the front and 18x10 in the back with a fat lip. his car is also lowered on coilovers to the point of no gap in the wheel wells.

i'd go for 18s but that'll be way over 2 grand with tires.

wheels

my only reasoning for the 17's is that my car is lowered with the peter ferrell suspension and i think 18's would cut it too close. i want to stay under $2000 without tires. if anyone knows of a nice polished wheel under 2k let me know.

Black99 really loves those wheels . However, i read somewhere that they shatter really easily..i could be wrong, but i think im pretty right on, on this one. The RH C2's are really nice =)

I would go with the Bronze SE37A's...in 17's they should be right around 2k without tires. Or u could go with the gram lights =)

Hell yeah I love the look of CP035's.. Only wish they made them in black and in 18" sizes. I wonder how much truth there is to that shattering rumor.

Ok sweet.. They are not really in consideration that much for me because I'd want something black in a 18" size(I think, not def. yet), but I'd be interested to know your findings.

i think i read somewhere that the CP-035's were going to be discontinued soon, and only the 35R will remain in the line-up. I just heard that through the grapevine.
Personally, im gunna try to get the Volk LE37k in diamond cut color

wheels

i ended up getting the gtp's in 18x9 and 18x10. i hope they look ok when they get here. i have not seen any cars with the 18" gtp's. i still love the c2's but they were on backorder.

You cant go wrong w/ either wheels theyre both nice! I especially love those C2's but they are pretty popular arent they?
IMO, the black FD wld of looked awesome w/ these> http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=307713

I know its a vette but hey where did they steal some of their styling cues from?
