No pics but I have seen them on a pewter SS and a red TA and inho they dont look good. If you have a polished I'd keep them polished. If you hate cleaning them they make a spray that you can coat your polished wheel with, just make damn sure its clean when you do it. When done the brake dust will simply spray off of them.

This isn't a 4th Gen, but a red 68 Camaro with black wheels.

My new wheels will probably have a satin center with polished lip. I've always loved the look on 60-70s muscle cars.

Gloss black with a contrasting lip always looks good to me, but straight flat black always look like when the ricers put their winter steelies on.
