Default Best looking set of 16" wheels?

What is the best looking set of 16 X 8's out there for fbodys? I'm not looking for stock wheels, something aftermarket. Preferably black. I've been doing some searching on google but haven't come up with much.

Slicks and skinnes, other wise nothing is going to look good in 16inchs

Our cars fenders are to large to make a small wheel look good

I hear ya. I recently bought some new 245/50/16 tires and probably spent more than I should have. I'm just looking to change up the look a little bit without having to buy new tires again.

The Centerline Legends look good, not sure if exact fitment or not.

Count your losses. Buying new 16inch wheels is going to be another mistake. Sell your 16s/tires and buy some 17s or 18s.

Hey,hey hey!! Some of us still roll on 16"s. I don't like to say that. But I do wonder how much the ride and drive would suffer or change going to 17"s.

I wouldnt think you would suffer anything? I changed to 17inch wheels and it still drives the same only corners better, hooks slightly better, and if anything the traction is at least somewhat there unlike when I had my 16x8's I felt like I was wasting money on 245s because these cars need 275s. Were not mustangs here

like everyone else has said, I wouldn't waste money on 16s. Why not sell your tires on here, because there are many people rocking the stock 16s. You can get you some good 17s for pretty cheap and then get some good size tires under your car.

I agree, the 17''/275 wheel/tire combo is the way to go but I think you could still find some ZR1 wheels in a 16''. I know they did make a few before.

Cool, that's what I wanted to hear as I've always thought the 16's looked small on the car, just didn't want to ante up for 17's then find it rides and drives rough.
