Default My Photochopped SS Wheels

I'm in the process of deciding which style of wheel to go with. I'm leaning towards something with a black center, and polished lips. I don't really want to go the Z06 motorsports route for a couple reasons. A lot of people already have them, and they're REALLY heavy. So I found these wheels on ebay, and chopped em on. I also lowered the car. Too much I know, but I'm not exactly a pro with photoshop. So what do you guys think? I don't see too many white SS' on here so my ideas are somewhat limited.



Oh these wheels are 18x9.5 on all 4's. I figure I could run them for street useage and get some stickies for my stockers for track time. $790 for all 4 w/o tires BTW.

i like the black center on white cars with the black roof. I think some 17x11s out back would be just what the doc ordered

Nobody make affordable 17x11's black with polished lips. (with the exception of ZR1's)

If those are the Ruff Racing 278s, they do not make them in black, only gun metal.
