Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
I have a rarer color (Cayenne Red) and I've given thought to putting the black Grand Sport wheels on.
Anyone have pics of the black G.S. wheels on a darker car? Cayenne Red would be preferable, but with it such an uncommon color, I don't expect anyone to have one with them.
P.S., I've seen them on pewter and silver cars.

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
Personally, i dont like the GS wheels, i'd just rather have the ZR-1s and have 'em shiney as hell, but thats my .02.
On red vehicles, they dont look too bad, and i believe there are a few members of this board w/ GS style rims on their rides.

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
Just today a little bit after i read your post, i saw these rims on a Camaro, and i thought of you, lol. It wasn't your color, but it was a deep red, maroon, almost purple like color with 2 black stripes, adn the shiny black GS wheels. Boy did that puppy look FINE <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> .

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
Thanks 2 good.
Raven, mine came from the factory with the 16" chrome plated 5 spokes. I yanked them within hours of owning the car as they looked too...well....ghetto/bling bling.
I like the black ones on your car BTW.

Heres a pic of the '93, it's not the best pic, but you get the idea. Let me know if you want any others.

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
See, I need to see one of those then!
I currently have the nice silver ZR1/SS style on their now and I love it, but I recently saw a red SS with black G.S. wheels and needed a cigarette afterwords. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
I had black grand sports on my '93 Z28. The color of my car was dark green/grey metallic. To say the least, it looked sharp. I have some pictures that I'll post in a few hours as soon as I get some BS work out of the way.
I say get the wheels. Granted, a lot of people will not like them, but its your car.

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
I have Black ZR-1's on my car (click on link in sig.) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> I have seen red cars with black wheels, and I think they look good too.
However, I think chrome wheels would look best with your color combination though - I love that deep dark metallic red <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
That's my 2 pennies,

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
Will do Greg. I think I may have seen yours running around Glenview awhile back cause I remember a pewter with black wheels' SS. How much you looking to sell them for?
2 Good, looks great. Did you use the silver center cap covers?

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
I bought my wheels from AFS <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Couldn't be happier with them. They mounted and balanced the wheels and tires (dunlop SP 8000s) and I even got free shipping (this was a special they had two years ago). Customer service was great - they answered all my questions and were always polite (unlike some phone reps at other companies....ahem ...cough! - SLP - cough!). Great deal and quality wheels <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
I take it you're not happy with SLP? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I'd like to keep 9.5" all the way around. DO you have to order them 2 9.5" and 2 11"? I also have the tires. I'd just switch my GS-C's from my current ones.

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
You can order all four wheels 91/2 x 11 with or without tires. I think you are stuck with the Corvette center caps though - at least that was the case when I ordered mine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
Excellent, thanks.
I think I can whip up some black center caps with just a red bowtie. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Grand Sport wheels on darker cars
I think 4 of the 9.5" wheels saves you only $50. The 11" look so much sweeter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
