Default Will these wheels look good on my car?

I am considering the black ZO6 Motorsports Vette wheels. The car will be lowered with Eibachs.

I'd say no. I personally don't think the black would look good on that light blue color, especially with the white stripe already down the middle of the car. I think that if you were to go through with the wheels, you should take off the stripe...there would just be too many contrasting colors going on with the car. By the way, what is the specific color name for your car? I don't think I have ever seen a Formula that color before.
Best of luck, in the end, its your ride, so enjoy it and do as you like.

i think so, those are some nice wheel regardless...

if you want, try going o the multimedia "sector Z " and have one of the photoshop guys fab a pic for you....

give them those pics, i think the front/side with that wheel would work just fine....

eh, i dont know. i think a polished or chrome wheel would look best on your setup. i think the black is just not going to look right, but i could be wrong. like said above post up in the multimedia section for a photoshop, you might be suprised.

Do a search for my name, as I had them chopped on awhile back. They will look good but thats my idea

Have you thought about the blue ann. rims as well?

LOL.

The color to my best knowledge is called Calypso Blue. I just bought her last Friday. Im not a huge fan of stripes the previous owner painted it on. I dont mind it so much now, however i was thinking the exact same thing about it just being too much with black wheels, white stripe, blue car....kinda trying to hard.

My only other possibility was these.

Questions? Comments?

I think those wheels look pretty good on your car! But you must add some more black color to complete balance IMO

Someone made a comment about 275/40/17 all around looking to thin for the rear because firebirds have such fat rear fenders, im starting to think they are right.

Maybe i should just suck it up and 315 the rears.
