Does anyone have a black 3rd gen with Black chrome wheels?

I wonder what a black 3rd gen would look like with black chrome wheels on it. I found these on ebay for under $400.

Look good only on a black car but kind of depends on what else is going on with the car. (Blackouts, tint, etc.)

Check out the black Corvette C6RS concept car. It has black chrome wheels.

Re: Does anyone have a black 3rd gen with Black chrome wheels?

I checked that vette out and it is sweet! I think the black chrome on a car looks good yet it doesn't take away from the car like the bling bling wheels. My car is black and it has the blackouts on the tail lights and tinted windows. I don't however, like black painted wheels on a black car so this is a tough one.

I hope someone can show a black 3rd gen with these wheels. If not maybe this is a sign.

Re: Does anyone have a black 3rd gen with Black chrome wheels?

Al Hasse..do a search on him, he has those rims on one of his camaros.. they look great, i've got a 92 rs and that's the set i want to put on my car.. i talked to al about his rims and i believe they were $130 a piece if you've got a Discount Tire near you... if they're the one's i'm thinking of their 17's..

Re: Does anyone have a black 3rd gen with Black chrome wheels?

I think they'd look good on a white car too.. however I think they'd look best with a polished lip.

Re: Does anyone have a black 3rd gen with Black chrome wheels?

Since I've been singled out Mine are very similar. I have a knock off of the C5 Z06 wheel in black with a polished lip and rivets. I bought them at Discount Tire in a 17 X 8.5 with 15mm offset, no spacers required. Tires are 245/45/R17. Apparently, I also need to lower the car when I get the chance. Excuse the dirt, its been nasty here the last few weeks

Re: Does anyone have a black 3rd gen with Black chrome wheels?

Those wheels are 17" x 9.5" on ebay. They still have several sets I think. However they looked really black (like solid black or painted) on Al's car. I kind of pictured them being more shiny than that. They may just blend right in on a black car.

Re: Does anyone have a black 3rd gen with Black chrome wheels?

I just bought a set of those Z06 motorsports style wheels with the rivets and I must say they are far more impressive in person, pictures don't do them justice
