Default How would these look on a black ws6

I've had my eyes on z06 wheels for a long time, I told myself if I ever got a Trans Am these are the wheels going on it. I'm going with the replicas as they are much cheaper. I found a website with all kinds of them, the ones I really want are black with a polished lip and rivets, but they're out of stock. Chromes too expensive, but then I came across some I've never seen, gunmetal. How would these look on a black ws6? I've never seen black and gunmetal before.http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/w...-a-r-p-1-x.jpg

going on this car, sorry, don't have a side pic

I can't really tell in the pic... Is the lip polished, or painted? Gunmetal with a polished lip, I say go for it.

Wheels with squared off spokes in a square pattern on a curvy trans am = fail

But lots of people disagree. I think c5z wheels kill the look of about anything, even the z06s they came on.

Nice to see I'm not the only one who thinks this.

IMO those are a bigtime downgrade from the stock WS6 wheels.

I hate those wheels on any car, but especially on T/A's, for the exact reason that Thunderstruck said... there's not a straight line anywhere on a T/A...those straight spokes and flat faced wheels don't go with it AT ALL.

But hey, it's your car, and your call (even if a few of here will think it looks like dogshit).

I DO like the gunmetal color with te black T/A however, just not on that wheel.
