I think they might look better if they had the polished lip.

looking pretty sharp! I have SLP's Zr1's on my camaro myself, so I guess I'm a little bias.

black goes great w/ the yellow.

If you do the SS hood, you going to redo the black stripes?

It looks great though love the yellow, but I think polished lip would look much better

I have to agree with those from above that the Grand-Sport polished lip would look killer. They still look rad though! You really need to drop that car and hard!

black wheels arent my style they look too dirty i used to like them alot but not anymore. but i agree with everyone else when i usually see black wheels i like they have a polished lip. and that shouldnt be too hard for you to do yourself if you wanted too.

I think they match just like they are because you dont realy have crome anywheres else. A 1 or 2 inch drop would make the care look even sweeter tho.

I have an idea.
I agree that all black wheels look weird next to the black tires, but I also agree that a chrome (or polished) lip wouldn't match anything else on the car.

So what if you put a body colored lip around the wheels? I did I quick photoshop of what i'm thinking. I like how it turned out...
