Looks amazing, I think if the headlight pockets were painted black they would compliment the wheels really nicely.

looks good, but kind of hard to see teh details of the black wheels. Leave the headlight pockets white too. looks much much better then blacked out.

Ya i kind of wish my camera was a little more clear, but hey...thats what it took....in case any of you cant tell. They are the black corvette Z06 wheels from OE concepts...i got 2" spacers in the front from Kandied91Z, and then a 2002 WS6 3.42 posi rear...i really liked how it turned out. Except now i never know how fast i really am going cuz i didnt get the speedo recalibrated

yeah, i think black headlight pockets and maybe tinted windows would match your wheels better... kinda carry through with the black/white theme

looks great, but they would look better with a bigger lip on the wheel.

yah, maybe i will do the headlight pockets lol...everyone seems to say it would be best...also i do have tinted windows, but the windows are down. The rear hatch had bubbles so i took it off until i have money to get it re done. I like how that guy (Darn cant remember his s/n right now) but he has that maroonish iroc w/the SS badges and chrome Z06's. I was thinking that some type of stripe thing like his but only gray and black or something would look good to.

They look good, but I don't think I'll ever be a fan of black wheels.

black buckets, i like the rims, but the car is missing something, i think it still needs black buckets , but i think a 91-92 blister hood with some orange stripes on it would look great .

Can you take a close-up of the rim in the front, it's hard to see what they look like.

Also what size tire and rim did you get?

Looks like I'm in the minority (as usual), but I really don't like them at all. Black wheels have always looked disgusting to me. To each his own.

Tony....275/40x17....on all four...My next set i will have DR's in the rear, hopefully a 295 or 305...if not then just 285 i dont wanna stretch it to 315 but it can be done...

oh and the last guy saying they would look better on black, i think it would be best on red....my car is white though and will be staying that way. Proly paint the pockets black, and do some gray/black stripe thing like the guy w/the maroon 85 and SS badges

The wheels look great. After seeing that photoshop, the black pockets really do look better. All ya need now is a hood. Nice car.
