Default How do you think these rims look?
A buddy of mine let me try on his black Z06 Motorsports with 18x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 in the rear. I think buying niteshade and making the clear corners dark would look good.

Looks damn good, I like the regular Z06s better though. VHT the corners and Black halos would really set off all of your other black accents

I like the rivets personally, I don't know why everyone dislikes the rivets.

not a rivet fan, but they do look good on your car. if you vht your corners dont forget to sand down the lettering before you paint them

Car looks nice, but a big "hell no!" to the wheels. Am I the only one that finds C5 Z06's ugly?

I think the blacked-out look has been done to death.

Would look better without the rivets, but still, they are better looking than the before pictures. They simply match your car better.
