Exclamation HELP!!! – Silver or Black – WITH PHOTOS and POLL

Which option do you like? The silver one is actually mounted on my car and the black ones are Photoshopped.

The rim/tire combo that you see is off a Corvette and I believe it might have had 265s on 18” rims; I would likely go with 285 (on 18” rims on the front), but I think the photos still give you a good idea of what the end results could look like.

Don’t worry, it will look lowered, the car is up on a hoist in the photos.

Option 1:

Option 2:

Are those Fiske rims?

Edit: That was a joke CCW's found them myself. And I went with Option 3.

Option number 1 and those wheels are TSW nurburgerings right?
Also why so big of a tire on the fronts?
I have staggered ZR1 reps 19X10, 18X8.5 ; 295,255

I vote #1 and keep the LOTB badges. Not every Trans Am can claim to be the last of the breed. I have a pair on my 2002 Formula and people always notice them at car shows.

9 to 9 doesn't help much! I was hoping there would be a clear winner...

I think I may vote for these:


The silver looks good, the black looks good too.. In a way the black is getting really played out though, I think the machine finish/black would be a nice compromise.. Just something to consider

Here's a photo (with someone else’s rims on my car) - corner view:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/29338699@N06/7699010198/

Here's a side view that show front and rear rims (again, not my rims):

http://www.flickr.com/photos/29338699@N06/7699010684/

Since the car is up on a hoist, I don't think the car looked as low as it should in the photos (there’s actually 1.25" drop), so I did this ROUGH Photoshop to see what it would look like if the car was sitting on the ground:

NOTE: 19s rear, 18s front.
