God I hope so.....

IMO, black wheels only work on an extremely low percentage of cars....and in most cases fbody percentages are even lower. Wheel style, size, car color, etc have to be right.

No not at all think of this way the turbo regals got black mesh wheels from the factory the gta trans ams had black and black rims as well I have black gta rims on my v6 bird

I meant gta had gold and black mesh rims I believe aslong as factory wheels are on production cars they'll stay in style but it all really boils down to preference the c.e. t/a had black rims the new camaros have a base model black rim just some food for thought

To the people who feel they are out of style so is putting z06 rims on birds and maros that's more heavily played out than anything

What makes them seemed played out is that cars are now coming with ugly black wheels on them. Like the new camaros have those ugly *** black 16" wheels on them. Makes me wanna not get black wheels again.

I just ordered some black c6 wheels , and the only reason I did is because chrome out here would be to hard to take care of ! It rains like every other day lol.. And I don't think they are played out , I mean to be honest I only see alot of F bodys with stock wheels lol its very rare for me to see f body's with OE wheels or CCWs or any high dollar wheels, I never seen a car with CCWs lol besides here

You won't see many cars with ccw rims due to the cost most people either don't have that kinda money to put into rims or find something they like that's way more economical as far as seeing them only here well that's because ls1tech only represents about 1/4 of all the ls1 cars around

I am so tired of seeing black wheels everywhere. IMO, they only look good with a chrome lip on a black car. I lol @ idiots that rattle can/powder coat stock wheels black. I completely understand not everybody can afford fikse or some other super expensive wheel but id rather see vette wheels on an f body than black snowflakes.
