I've always been partial to the stock rs wheels, but with these choices I'd go #4.

1s or 3s. Esp if car stays white.

Yes, white car, black hood, black mirrors, black rear deck, black rear spoiler. Makes the black wheels just seem right.

I like number 4.

i would go with the second ones if it were on my own car but i still vote for the first ones since yours is white. deffnately not the 3rd or 4th ones just because everyone and their mother has the torque thrust II looking wheels now days. just my opinion though, you really cant go wrong with any of them.

C5Z are played out through and through to me, number 1 is just making me think of how it will off set the white with black hood ect, and be different as you guys that agree against the torque thrust being on everything. The C6Z looks great and have only seen 1 third gen with black version.

The 4th gen 02 SS wheels look great, but C5 wheels are played out and do not look as good as the C6 wheels to me.

IMHO, number 4. But im a sucker for nostalgia. Eric L

To me they look a bit different from most tq thrusts, but that may be because they are wheel only pics.

idk man the more i look at this post the more i lean towards #1

A friend said the first ones looked like crap in person, but idk if it was the car or the tires? I want to know more now, hate to have them not look as good as the pix.

#2, just because imo they go with the sharp lines of a thirdgen; I'd put those on my 82 in a hearbeat.

Seen several pics of cars with them, they work very well.

That is damn nice, black chrome is not that common either.
Well, this is a idea of what I want for paint, but the rear deck and mirrors will be black as well.

Here is a car with a set like number one, but, thicker, and more polished lip, I think the extra lip may be excessive, but it is a idea of what I am lookin for.

#2 for me. They just have the right lines for a 3rd gen.

Yea, they do look sharp like the car. I am really back and forth on the decision, never thought I would.
