Talking green ws6 rim suggestions?

since there is another ws6 nearby now, painted the same color as mine with the same z06 chrome rims (except mine are 18" & his are 17"). ppl have seen this car thinking it was me & vise versa. i wanting to change the look a bit & need some opions on the rims.

as some of you know it was involved in an little accident a few weeks ago. i have added a mecham hood & wings west front lip & side skirts to further set myself apart. here is that thread...

https://ls1tech.com/forums/racers-lo...t-tonight.html

give me some thoughts & pics too pls. looking to get away from the chrome but didnt really want to do black or flat black but im open to any suggestions. kinda would like to keep the whole vette feel so i was looking at these black chrome (or whatever you callem). could someone pls photochop them please?

Fikse FM10 in Technipolish or CCW SP20 or 505a.. if you want to keep the Vette feel sell the Trans Am and buy a Vette.

i would be pissed if someone had the same color car i had after i just painted it to stand out from the norm lol, imo your car looks killer,leave the vette wheels behind, ccws or fikse is a way better option and would look killer on your car, even the forgestars or whatever there called would look way better than vette wheels, i have honest grown to hate any of the vette wheels

Really someone else painted their car that color near you? Yours is the only one Ive ever seen.. Anyway whats your budget? Like others have mentioned vette wheels on F-bodys are overplayed and theres a ton of other options out there. If you really want to set your car apart, stay far away from any vette wheels..

sucks that someone has the same color as yours. Maybe he hired the ram to hit you... lol anyway i havent used photoshop in years and bigger pictures wouldve helped. But hope this helps a little to give you an idea.

Due to Manufacturer restrictions I can no longer Post my Sales prices online. SORRY!!!!

LIST PRICE: 19/20 $7300
WHEELS FOR LESS PRICING: PM OR CALL FOR PRICING DUE TO MANUFACTURES PRICE RESTRICTIONS

Forgestars would be a great pick. In between cheap vette replicas but still less than higher end forged wheels. You got the CF5s if you like the 5 spoke look like what you posted and then the F14 would be similiar to your Z06 wheels. I a gloss black or titanium would look fantastic on green. If your serious about Forgestars hit up Tony over at DV8motoring.com. Co-founder of this site and sells more Forgestars than anyone..
