Default 17x9.5 C5 Deep Dish Wheels Argent with a Machined Lip

Hey guys,
I have a 2002 Silver Z28 I'm looking into getting a different set of wheels. I was thinking a gun metal color would look good, but I haven't seen it on a silver car before. Does anyone have any pictures of gun metal wheels on a silver car? Just looking for pictures and opinions. Let me know what you think.

I think it might look ok. I'm like you though, I'd have to see em on a car first though, especially with the car being silver and the wheels being somewhat silver just darker a little bit.

Yea... I don't like black wheels, and I'm worried chrome would look washed out like the silver snowflakes on there now do. I found this pic of gunmetal ZR1s on a silver car. I think the colors look good, and I've thought about buying black ZR1s and having them painted this color since nobody makes them anymore.

Gun Metal/ Anthercite rims are ballin. Not to flashy but you still notice them. Are you planning on a solid color? or with a polished lip?

I think gunmetal wheels on a silver f body would be the best choice. Looks awesome.

I have the silver y2k c5 wheels and just FYI you need a spacer to keep the wheels from rubbing in the back. Mine are 18x9.5" and a 1/4" spacer solved my rubbing issue.

It says "machined" so its not painted, but I'm not sure exactly what the finish will look like.

The ones I'm looking at are 17x9.5 because I'm thinking about some lowering springs, and don't want to deal with rubbing or anything like that.

Ive got those in the 17/18 combo. Right now, ive only got the front 2 wheels mounted on the car (needed new tires on the stock wheels, so just threw these on), still need to get tires for the rear 18's.

Personally, i think they kind of match my LE stripes but the color looks odd at 1st. I was like, so this is argent/gunmetal? lol But ive also really never seen "gunmetal wheels" in person. So couldnt really judge on the color but in sunlight, it looks good. Ill snap a quick pic with my cell phone tomorrow and post it up for ya after work. Matter of fact, ill get 2. 1 in some sunlight and another in some shade.

Edit: My cars not silver but you get to see the wheels and there color.
