Time To Choose Rims....
So Im ready to start shopping around for rims. The only thing is, most of the ones that people have just dont seem to compliment the paintjob on my car. I really wanted Weld Pro Stars.... I know it sounds messed up to say rims "compliment" paintjobs but In my own little world they do
Any suggestions? Keep in mind Im 18 so I cant afford these $2000 per rim type rims lol
heres my baby (Blue one, white one is sold
)

I bought the Silver SLP ZR1s for my 83 z28. I just got the rims, I must say, they are ****ing sweet. I got the free caps and the lug nuts for them as well. Total, 526$. Free shipping. I <3 SLP. Now I just need to put an alarm on my car and get some lug locks to prevent them from being stolen. I have a bad feeling they will be.

y'all might think i'm crazy, but your paint scheme somewhat resembles a Corvette Grand Sport...i say go for the Grand Sport styled ZR1's

Heh... all it needs is a little red on the drivers side fender. 
I'm not a huge fan of black wheels, but it might not look to bad.

The Silver SLP ZR1's are 200 bucks off.

$499 for those rims is a steal. I paid $699

Depends on the look you're going for. Pro Stars look more old school, ZR1's look much more modern. Polished IROC's would strike a balance somewhere in between.

theyre not black. hyperblack is like silver during the day and like gunmetal at night. its a really cool effect.
