Default Which wheels for a Pewter formula?

I have narrowed it down to 17'' black TTM's or light gray 17'' c6 wheels. The price for each is very close so that is not a real issue. I just can't decide which one I want. I am leaning ever so slightly towards the TTM's. What do you think?

BTW this is a 02.

I think black or gunmetal deep dish C6 Z06's would look good.

Bot of the two you mentioned, I'd say the black TTM's would look better. The light grey finish C6's are too boring, to me they look washed out. A pewter car needs a stronger color, IMO.

I can get black C6's also, for the same price as the gray ones. I just don't like black wheels that don't have a lip of some kind.

Check ebay...there's a company selling black C6's with a polished lip.

A buddy of mine has a set on his Camaro, they look great.

I can get the TTM's or these c6's much much cheaper than I can get them from somewhere else. I work for a Tire dealer and I am getting these wholesale. Which is one reason why I am stuck between these two only.

In that case I would definitely go with the TTM.

The silver C6 is just a plain looking wheel, IMO, and will do nothing for the look of your car. Like I said, pewter needs a stronger color. Silver wheels will just look washed out.

I'm still undecided on how I like them on 'Birds actually, I don't think the straight spokes really go with the 'Bird's curves.

The curved spokes of the TTM go really well though.

Hope you went with black or chrome... Gunmetal doesn't contrast enough with pewter. But if you like it then it's cool.
