I'm glad nobody likes it. It insures that my car will be original. :sillylol:

I dunno. I've always loved black wheels on solid-colored cars.

Not bad, I kinda like it. That's just something that you dont see everyday. I think they would look even better on a black car, in fact, I almost bought some just like that last year!!

They're HREs. Real popular with the C5 crowd, but WAY out of my price range. But... the perspective is right, so they photoshopped well. If I get black wheels, they'll be Grand Sport wheels or black ROH ZS wheels.

Jim,
I think they break with the VERY clean appearance of your car. My vote goes to keeping the stock ones compared to those.

I never liked black wheels on cars because it looks like you're running on all spares. The GTA wheels look good though cause they have the chrome around the sides.

I think it looks sweet on your car. I think you should go w/ the black/grey ROH ZS rims you were thinking about. The stock ones look good to tho you just have a nice ride:hail:

I don't think they look that bad at all... It'd definetly grab my attention. What about gettin a set of IROC rims (85-86 Style) and painting the inserts black? I dunnno, only thing I don't like about it, is that the chrome around the rim kinda stands out all by itself... maybe if that was black to though.... just my thoughts

Some expensive C5 wheels. I forget what they are, but they're priced up there with Fikses.

I'd rather do a grandsport photochop, but I haven't found a pic of them that will work well. I really want to photochop the charcoal or black ROH ZS wheels, but I can't find a suitable pic.

it is for real that high , it has airshocks on it!!!!!!!!!I plan to put 50s on the back. The thing about airshocks is that u can adjust the ride hight. I do let them down everyonce and a while . I have to be different. I had traction bars under her but took those off they are in the yard somewhere. I did not like them, so i tossed them to the side , maybe one day someone will take them off of my hands.

You're being different by being just like every ******* in my town. Well, actually, to be just like them, you've got to put air shocks in, then get the biggest, cheap POS pep-boys tire that will fit on your stock rims.

Nothing else on the car has changed but the wheels. , well wait a min. the wheels, airshocks are new, GT sterring wheel , new speakers, radio, tires, right now I have 2056515 on her.

First off your car is beautiful....but I think it looks better with the original rims on it. The black ones do not look bad, but they dont look better than the ones you have on it now. Maybe you should get white rims. I saw white rims on a newer red RX-7....I know I know...most of you will say it is rice, but I have a lot of respect for those cars...and it looked great. The black just doesnt make it look that clean...the rest of the car looks very clean and those black rims just break the look. Just my opinion, but either way you go it will look good.

I hung aroung with my 9C1 buddy too much and all his black wheels rubbed off on me. I love my white car with black Iroc rims, wouldn't have it any other way.
I am getting the ROH ZS's in black chrome, it looks sweet. Looks black, but shines like chrome!

Do you have a pic of the ZS in black chrome? All I can find is plain, charcoal, and black with goofy colored rings.
