Default 1999 Z28: What to do with my wheels?

What color should I paint (or powdercoat) my 10 spokes?
1) Black.
2) Gunmetal with a polished lip.
3) Or powdercoat them and make some 35th anniversary wheels.
4) ?

Im liking the stock look! Always thought 10 spokes looked good, really like the chrome ones.

4) give them to me.

But really though I think gunmetal with a polished lip would be cool. I've never seen anything like that on 10 spokes

I think they would look great but I'm worried about the car being to "black". The silver does break up the wheel pretty good though...
"nascarnate326" wheels look great:

If mine were chrome I wouldn't change them but since there not I don't think I would pay to have them chromed. There are a few polished 10 spokes.


I really I like this:

the chrome/polished look really good, but im not liking the anniv. wheel style. It makes me think of a iroc wheel somehow, but different strokes for different fokes. Maybe you should look into selling thos and picking up a set of wheels you like.

#1 vote if you plan to do something is try the gunmetal with polished lip

I really like it too. Wonder what center caps would look good with that wheel? I looked on ebay and all I could find were chrome SS centers. Maybe just painted silver?

I don't have any more pics of the polished wheels that I had done. The pic's you found is all I have. I never installed them on the car. Some guy in Seattle has them.

35th style always looks good.

What about like a gold color? An option if you want something a little different.
