I don't think you found your rims. In my opinion, those rims look ok. What will happen is, once you get the rims you like, the next day, you will see some rims that you like better.

I agree. I think black wheels look great. They give the car an all-business type of look. Sinister, no bullsh*t type of look. To me, the white is the exact opposite.

I never did care for white rims.. on any color car..

Personally, I'd go with silver or chromed ZR1s.. perhaps even black powercoated if u want a real distinct look..

Just my .02, your car looks awesome!

I'm gonna have to say go silver. White rims only look good on certain cars i think (such as the 30th anniv. camaro).

Yea, I'd have to agree. Silver, Chrome, or Black. But not white.
