Black RS wheels

Ok i've search the site for "black wheels" and "rs wheels" and i've gone thru pages and pages of threads and not really seen any black RS wheels. I'm looking for pictures, a clear picture of some black RS wheels. I want to see how they look and what not. A side shot would be best. Thanks to anyone who has the pics or can find them. BTW if i got the rim wrong here is a pic of the rims i mean.

im almost positive that the rs wheels were all 15x7 and they recommend a 215/65-15 on them. i love black wheels. i might do my rs wheels like that with the polished lip. the 91-92 wheels on deadbirds are awesome!!!! i think i might trade my 15 rs's for the 91 92 style 16's sound like a fair trade? my buddy trades with me because i do all the work to his car.


ALSO the Zr1 wheels in black are cool too i personally prefer the Z06 wheels though. black with a polished lip is what im putting on my 88"

Thanks NfS & 87... it's just too bad the car riding on the wheels is a pile of poo
Works good enough for a beater though, I guess...
