Lightbulb What Wheels

I'm bored with my wheels and have been meaning to get new ones, but not sure what to go with. Choose a Wheel and a color (Black or Chrome). Right now I have black Y2K Vette wheels on the car

I know some people think that Chrome ZR1 rims are played out. But I rarely see them anymore on F-Bodys. I think Chrome ZR1 rims would look choice on your car.

Are those the Mesh style wheels? If so those are pretty tight, and I dont think I have ever seen them in black. Also I wonder how a black wheel would look with a black chrome lip?

Hey, you should post up pix of the different types so more people will know exactly what they look like.

No I really like the Grandsport wheels, and the 10 spokes, and I don't want ppl to vote Fikse just because they cost more. Vote on what you think would actually look the best.

you put up two sets of wheels that will cost $500 and EVERYONE has them, tight



then...you decide to throw in a set of rims that probably doesn't exist, won't fit on your car, would look great and costs $4000....



hmmm what will people vote for

2 Slow just GTFO of my thread point is how it would look on the car, and I'm not sure what I'm gona go with. If I get the cheap ones cool if I get the Fikses cool I can do either one. I'm not looking at the price tag, I'm looking at how they would look on my car. Oh, so you know they are called custom wheels for a reason, and you can get many finish options.

I voted for black with chrome lip. Like mine:



OK, so I'm a little biased, but I think they'd look good on your car.

id get the fm-5's because those are the wheels i want for my ws6. there's a few pics from the previous owner and damn they looked awesome.

at the same point if you want some sorta of traction id look into the other wheels where you could possibly mount a set of mt drag radials or something like that. good luck regardless.
