Default my new white wheels!!!

they are zr1's with 17x9.5 in the front and 17x11 in the rear...... i was going with the black and red, but it rained the other day and my dr's would hold on the freeway and almost drove off the road... so i traded my dad his wheels for mine let me know what you guys think, and i took a pic of the front clip molded since there aren't many out there....

They clash with everything else. They don't flow well, IMO.

yeah i know they do clash with everything and its mom... but after my near death crash in the rain, my dad said they must be on there untill i can afford some 315/30r18's with a normal tire instead of a dr..... so they must stay on there for now..... and those tires aren't cheap so maybe for a long while.... I think they might look good if i had something more white, maybe take the berger panel off and get a white manta stripe and some white leather seats? how do you guys think that would look? oh i've never seen these wheels in this size on any other car!!!

Ford thought the combo was cool . I think there was some sort of an anniversary Fox Stang that came with that combo. Maybe it was the "California" edition?? something like that. I've seen one running around here.

it would look ALOT better without the berger panel. either way, I like the white zr1's in 17x11, i too have never seen those in that size before. The problem is that your dark tint /black roof will always clash with the wheels imo.

yeah they came off the white and orange car so it kinda matched a little better you know.... I didn't think it looks the best in the whole world, i just didn't think it looked like . I'll be able to get my black zo6's back on someday when i get the money for the tires, it sucks being in college and not living with you parents....

Throw some white hockeys and manta stripe on there and it'll look sweet! There's a red Hot Rod Camaro in my club with the white hockey stripes and it looks good. I have white 16x8 ZR1's for my drag wheels. Had thought about some 17's for the street but I like my chromes and the white wheels are a pain to keep clean.

I think i'm going to order the manta stripe like yours and put my red panel back on... and see what it looks like... and if i don't like then just take it off, not to much money just to see.... i don't really like the hockey stripes though, so i'll post some more pics in a couple of weeks when i get everything for it.... and thanks for the good and bad reply's....
