Default Post up them Red T/A's

looking for new rims for next spring.. my car has a nice Red/Black theme going and I can't decide between chrome or black/machined lip.

was looking at deep dish c6 z06 black.. don't know how they will look.

give me two days and i'll be able to give you a good visual. i just need to get my tires

these are going on my red T/A and i definitely have the black/red look going. disregared the pic in the sig, thats when it was bone stock. im far from that now. these aren't the same style you're looking at, but you should be able to get a good idea.
-i'll post pics once they're on- either today or tomorrow

also, when i get them on, im going to swith the rims on my camaro with the T/A to see how the chrome C6's look with the red bird and so i can see how the camaro looks with the black rims. but to me, i dont think the chrome really looks great with the red. i'll take some pics of that too so you can get an idea of how it'd would look with the chrome

i think it could look great in chrome, it just depends on the overall look of the car. i was going with the whole black/red thing so it was only right that i went with black.

i did put 2 of the chrome c6 rims from my camaro on the T/A so i could see how it would look. i liked it, but i liked the black more.

thanks. the rims are 18 x 8.5. i really dont like how thin they are, but that all that was available in this rim at the time, plus they were only $484 shipped.

they are CONSIDERED deep dish by OEWHEELS, but i definitely wouldnt call it that. the lip at its biggest point is maybe 1". to me "deep dish" is atleast a couple inches...something anyone can look at and notice that they have a huge lip, unlike these. not to say that they dont look great, cause i love them
