Default Help! Forged Rims W/ White Lettered Tires??

Hey guys I have a red 96' ws6 and looking to get some black staggered rims with a chrome forged lip and seeing that 16's would be the biggest, I want to get white lettered tires to get that muscle car look. i was hoping some of you guys would have this set up, so pics would be awesome! Please give me info and whether to go with this or get some 19's? Here are some pics of the ride to help me make a decision, thanks!

I'll be the first one to say it, but please don't put raised white letter tires on your car. There are just some fads that need to stay within their own era's...this is one of them.

On the other hand, 19s almost always look awesome

i do agree what you guys are saying and i thank you for the info, but i will probably end up goin with some 19'' mmr, ruff, or any other staggered, forged rims. Anyone have pics of black or any other type of rims that you would suggest? I would love to see them, thanks!

go with 17s they are like the perfect size. Not small and not $$$. White lettered tires? Please no. Like what the guys said above... they belong on the olderrrr cars or trucks.

id have to pass. i am not a fan of a wheel unless it had REAL bolts.

Man if you put white letter tires on that car, you might as well grow a billy ray cyrus style mullet.
