I would have polished them before painting them black. Don't like all black wheels AT ALL. Black centers with polished or chrome lip look sweet though.

Default love it

Gotta love all black wheels, the guys on here are gonna hate my all black ZO6's on a NBM Camaro. I travel to the cities quite a bit. I'm about an hour east, but go to the Mark to see some shows and the wife likes to go to the Malls. Anyway, kickass car.

I have a thing for all black wheels.

Not feeling those wheels. The CETA looks great though! I like the tail lights as well.

What did you use to paint them? Maybe it is the picture but they don't look very glossy. But It doesn't look bad. I personally perfer the polished lip look. But that is me. Man with some tinted windows that thing would look slick.

You've done some good work, but IMO the car is just too "black and white", if that makes sense. Need some chrome rims, or something, just to break it up some.

You should get a sticker made for it, like I'm having done for my buddies white vette. It could say "Trans Am" in stencil type letters, with a bar code under it. Like the generic boxes of cereal had back in the day, it would just be a white box with "Corn Flakes" and a bar code. I thought it would be funny.......

Well, after I get done with the INT and suspension, one of my first performance mod is gonna be a small shot of n20. once my n2o set up is complete, Im gonna have my rear filler smoothed, and have a picture of a baby on his back with a N.O.S. bottle in his mouth, with the words "Bottle Feed Baby" underneath it. I may get some Trans-Am lettering for the GFX's as well.

Spuds,

There's no way to say this nicely so I'm just going to say it...that looks like
absolute ****. It looks like you have 4 donut tires on each corner. You need
some new wheels my friend.

I don't mean that to be offensive at all even though it sounds bad...just trying
to push you in the right direction.

I do like what you've done with the car though. It's getting MUCH better.

Its all in the eye of the viewer. Lots of people like them, lots don't, I can live with that. I think it makes the car look a lot more aggressive, less frilly.
