Just picked up a set of 4 c5 front 5 spokes...100 bucks for the wheels and tires. They aren't in perfect shape but I can't complain for the price. Let me know what you think. Yes, I know my car is dirty. Hard to keep it clean when I drive down a half mile gravel driveway everyday.




I wasn't sure if I would like chrome on my car but I think it looks pretty good. Though I am still thinking I may want to paint the wheels. Give me some ideas maybe photoshop if you want so I can see other wheels colors on my car. Thanks in advance.

v6? slam it to the absolute floor and gloss black the rims.

First, I would clean them up to see what chrome looks like, unless that is the lighting making them look that way. Those look more smoked gray. Great deal on them nonetheless.

Black with the "machined face" look or a gunmetal/anthracite.

look pretty good but are they chrome or polished?

The wheels are chrome... it may be the light making them look smoked or polished. Yes the car is v6 for now. I have a 5.3 I'm building for it right now. It will stay naturally aspirated for awhile till that feels week and may get a turbo on it eventually. I don't think I can slam it due to the shitty roads where I live... I already bottom out everywhere I go. The chrome looks pretty good on the face of the wheels but behind the face on the inside of the rim is peeling. Just means I will do something to them at some point. Thanks for the input lets see what others think.

Looks like the first thing you should do is buy new tires for those wheels.

These wheels have been done a thousand times plus a few more...so I'd do something with the color of the wheel to set off the purple color of the car.

if u do any black to them, keep the lip chrome, black spokes, that wud look sharp. if not, polish them up and wax em and chrome will look good.

I agree.....I don't understand the current trend of "all black" rims.

All black looks great on many cars, it's just the concept of "contrast" lol. Chrome doesn't look best on all colors. Like a bright red Z28 is begging to have all black rims, no?

carguy_24

Yes I agree... all black goes good on some colors but with my dark car and the black top on it I don't want the rims to just disapper in the darkness of the car. So I would keep the chrome/polished lip on the wheels if I go black spokes. I am still debating on what to do to stand out from all the other people that have these wheels and to stand off from the paint on my car.

Go to O'Reillys and get GM Gunmetal Metallic. I think it would look great on your car. It looks great on my car.
