Re: FOOSE NITROUS BLack
I do really like that rim. My father has the 20" all chrome version on his 2005 Mustang GT. If I was you, I would get them all in 18"s because I think that this rim looks a little too busy when Its smaller. It was originally designed to be 20".

Re: FOOSE NITROUS BLack
i think the Foose black wheels would look outstanding on a car with black accents. I'm thinking a blue or red car with black trim, as an example. Might have to keep those wheels in mind when i get the money to build my dream IROC.

They will fit easily. Even if your car is lowered you will have no problems with 18's. I wouldn't go smaller than 18's that's just my opinion. I'm running 245/45/18 tires.

Re: FOOSE NITROUS BLack
I don't like ANY rim with all those rivet/bolt looking heads around the lip. Especially on a black rim, with those still shiny. Too busy!

IMHO.....Loose all those rivets/bolts & the wheels look good.

On a firebird Id stick with the foose nitrous theres a red and silver transam with 18" torque thrust it looks real good. Oh check out the c6 deep dish rims they look wicked black with a stainless lip.[IMG]('http://www.corvettegarage.com/popup_image.php?pID=932&pic=0')[/IMG]

Re: FOOSE NITROUS BLack
ROH built the Snypers in all silver, not chrome.

A little powdercoat on the spokes with a polished lip & ........ (had there been rivets/bolts, i woulda passed on them)

Re: FOOSE NITROUS BLack
Of the two sets you presented, I'd say stick with the Foose ones. I agree with Stephen, the second set is too busy.
