anyone know of some black rims?

Hey guys,

I have been looking around but not really sure where to look. I am looking for some black rims. 17"x8" for the front and 18"x10.5" for the rear.

Could someone post some options and good sites for rims?

thanks

I think the Corvette Grand Sport used black ZR1 style rims. Might do a search on the web and see if you can find them.

OR....if you cant find the rims you want in black. Find them in whatever colour and get them powder coated black. It doesnt cost much....I can get all four done for about $160 CANADIAN funds....which is like $100 american.

I love the GTA style crosslace rims in black. I don't think I will ever change them. However If I did it would most likely be the 02' collectors edition wheels. I think they would look pretty kick ***.

Sweet, where can I pickup a set of those GS wheels. Also wouldn't mind a set of black Z06's either. Any ideas ?

I also was curious on where to find the black ZO6 rims, I havent been able to find them anywhere, while the chrome knock-offs are everywhere.
