Wheel Color Options...

i, like everyone else, hates my chrome wheels. i want to get a new set and am thinking about the american racing rebel's but im getting sick of chrome.

i do like polished wheels but would like to go a different route...something not many thirdgens do. what wheel colors would look good with a pearl white car??? i like a polished lip on the wheels too...

my car for reference...

black wheels and a polished lip would look pretty sweet and thats what i may get because i just done see anything else that goes with pearl white (besides polished), but.... the zr1, z06, tt2 wheels are played out pretty much and im looking for something different.

i was even thinking about getting these

hey man.

All i have to say...DONT GET POLISHED WHEELS!!!


They are too hard to keep on top of..trust me, I have worked at a rim and tire shop for 4 years and I see it every day!! even with the guys that wash their car 100 times in the summer..they never last.

I had polished and I was ontop of them like a fat kid on a smartie, Because I have a show car they had to be immaculate.

They just dull easily and dont keep their shine no matter what you do to them

If chrome is not an option anymore, do a black rim with a nice machined lip.

Although, you are more then likely looking at a custom made wheel which usually means big bux!

Good luck and let us know what you decide
