Default What wheels on my Purple Z?? *Current Pics*

Ok guys I been trying to get some pics but apparently this color isnt popular at al..I dont much like it myself but for now I am dealing with it since I got the car so cheap and rebuilt the motor and what not...

My question is I have chrome ss 10 spoke on now and was thinking about doing some new wheels..I have a black theme going on as well with the tinted windows, black ss spoiler, black top and mirrors
(t top car), and a black hood..I was thinking about going with black TT2's or black ZO6 wheels..what do yall think would look better..I always been a fan of chrome but here lately I think the black wheels would give me the stealthy look I been wanting

The car is basically black on the top half and purple on the bottom half

here is a crappy pic I just happened to have on this comp..its before the black ss spoiler was added

yeah def the black TT2s with the polished lip. It would extremely add to the stealth look. It sits really nice btw. Are those eibachs?

I like the chrome wheels on there now. They flow well with the corners, grill, rear bumper lights and the Z28 badges. If you go with a black wheel I would say to change the above mentioned items to black.

i think the chrome 10 spokes look pretty ill on there, flows nice with the emblems, grill and clear corners! chrome 10 spokes are honestly one of my all time favorite wheels.

i say paint the hood purple and repaint the front bumper and youd have a killr lookin car

yeah the guy that had it before me ran it into the back of a truck..or should I say under it...And messed up the hood and front end, along with the headlight support and brackets and hood latch..Im in the middle of replacing them all..I threw on the stock hood that a friend had for free so I cant complainabout free...The front end is my next project and then it will be ready for a paint job in a year or so..but for now it will be multicolored....I love the wheels too but am kinda tired of the flat wheel look...I want something with a lip on it...and the black has been on my mind for a while...

As for the springs my ex brother in law did the drop, he is a fabricator and modified the stockers, AKA cut them..but it rides really well for a cut car...I was hesitant at letting him do it but he insisted and I let him...I may actually go witha set of Eibachs soon to raise it back up some..with my exhaust setup I scrape a good bit and I dont wanna tear up my exhaust..

thanks guys for the comments

Get a purple painted hood/spoiler combo and keep the wheels you have now.

I think Black TTMs, but paint the spoiler and hood to match it looks bad that way imo!

Isn't that Black Rose that was also available on the C4 Vette? My favorite color. Do the hood purple also, keep the chrome wheels.

Keep the wheels you have and get your hood painted, the black hood makes the car look cheap. Once the hood is painted, your car will look amazing.

I had a 1996 Z28 that color. but the mirrors and roof were painted purple. The only one to this day that i have seen like that, that was a z28. I had draglites on mine. but ya paint the spoiler and hood to match. then repaint the front end gloss black by the headlights. here are some pics.
