I prefer the look of stock 5 spoke trans am wheels. I will only run the stockers on my 02 ws6 & TA hawk. Keep 'em clean & they look great. It's your car, run what you like. To me, a black wheel is a lazy man's wheel, as dirt & grime is not easily seen, so you are less likely to clean them.

They look pretty good I just wish people used something other then Vette wheels! So many choices out there but as long as it makes you happy that's what matters!!

I beg to differ maybe you're referring to matte black wheels. It's almost impossible to keep these things free of dust and dirt buildup. Appreciate the comments

They look good. We all say we wish people would use something other than Vette wheels, but in reality how many f-bodies do you see in person that have them? There is 1 or 2 around my area, but that is it really. Car looks good, love the tinted windshield. Bump for a nice ride.

Looks good! And yes, matte or flat paint is easier to keep clean. I had flat black wheels and they definitely stayed cleaner longer than my painted ones do

Looks pretty good. Are you running spacers in the rear? First pic kinda looks like it. Either way looks nice

Not a fan of OEM wheels at all, but it's your car, and if you like them, then that's all that matters.

Looks Good! I personally like the vette wheels, especially the c6 wheels on F-Bodys (thats what i have on mine) . I figure we drive GM cars, why not use GM wheels. Just my 2 cents

Yeah they're plenty of different wheels options out there but it's hard to beat the prices on these OE/replica sets ......mine are OE though
