Trying to decide on rim color....

Does anyone have pics of a Camaro with blacked out stock 15" rims (the alum 15x7 5-point star style)? I cracked one of my rims yesterday, and I'm deciding whether to get a replacement and black them all out, or just go for some aftermarket ones.....

Trying to figure out what looks better with a dark green metallic paint job.....


Thanks

originally these rims were red from an RS, but they faded to pink so I bought them for cheap and painted them black
turned out pretty decently

that's actually what I originally what I wanted to do.... I'm glad you posted that.... What kind of paint did you use? I think this is probably what I'll do with mine.....

Re: Trying to decide on rim color....

IMHO, go ahead & get some stock 16"s at least, if not 17"/18"s, but no bigger.

Stock used 16"wheels can be had pretty cheap, after somebody ditches them for custom or 4th gen/Vette wheels.

Re: Trying to decide on rim color....

You could also buy some 85-87 IROC rims and polish them up to look close to chrome. There are many threads on this topic.

Which 16's are you talking about? The biggest I'd go is probably 17", unless its a rim I really like... I'm not really into the huge rims with rubber bands for tires....
