Default Pick me wheels for this car (Vert)

Ok, its a triple black 2001 Z28. Bone stock. I was really considering some chrome 10 spoke SS wheels, or maybe some Privat Profil 18's (black). Let me know what you guys think would look best on this car. I would love to see some pics of a black car with black profils ! Thanks!

I had the 19" HP Racing EVO's on my convertible Camaro SS, loved that look. I sold them to a member here with a black Firehawk convertible, and they looked equally killer on his car.

Those 19's do look awesome, but I would assume they are a bit outta my price range. The most I would wanna spend would be around what it would take to get a set of the profils (18's) and tires. Also, I dont want the same thing as everyone else and go with a Z06, or ZR1 type wheel. Thats kinda why I was liking the Profils.

Also, I do still have the TTII's in my sig, but they are now on my 85 Z28, so if I took them off there, I would need to buy a new set for that car. The TTII's are a bit played out for a 4th gen I think, but, I was considering getting the centers powder coated black.

Here are a couple of pics with TTII'2 powdercoated black in the centers but on a T/A. I really like the look with the centercap painted as well. Makes the wheel look taller to me. I wonder if these pics werent photoshoped though, because I dont even see chrome lugnuts. How do you guys think these would look on my car ?

On your black z, I would go for some chrome or polished 18" C5 y2k wheels. 18x9.5 int he front and 18x10.5 in the back and also lowerering it is a must. That would be the more inexpensive way.

You could also go custom and spend $3000 for wheels alone.

I think the 18" Privat Profil blk w/ chrome lip that you were considering would look good on your car.

Ok, I have narrowed it down to 3 wheels, here they are in no specific order.

1. Chrome 10 spoke SS wheels
2. 35th Ann. Wheels
3. My TTII's with black centers

Give me your opinions on what you guys think would look best.
