Default Wanna add rims but not sure what type/color??

Ok, so i wanna add some 18 inch rims to my camaro. Im really thinking of getting black rims to keep the whole black/silver look to it. I mean the car is really a light pewter metallic, but close to a silver look in a way.

What do yall think would look good? black rim's or should i go with the chrome/silver look? and do yall happen to know of any type of rim's that would look good on the car.

So here's a pic of the car, it does look like a silver when the sun hits it from the side view.

Torq Thrust IIs, a drop, and old-school Z28 badges and it'll be a HUGE improvement in looks!

Thanks. You can get them from tirerack.com. Im sure sponsors on here sell them as well. They are 17x9.5 front and 17x10.5 rear. You can also find them in the for sale section from time to time.

Torque Thrusts of any kind almost always look good. It's all about preference. I would say get chrome or black though...

you can't go wrong with TTII's, but you can see from my sig how chrome Z06's look on a pewter car.

Whats your budget? You wanting to keep it around $1000-1500 for rims and tires, or are you willing to spend double that on a set?

If you want to see a killer set of black rims on pewter, do a member search for Crager and check out his SS. That thing is perfection w/ the rim choice for the color IMO.

There are some great wheel choices out there. Being your budget sounds like its fairly liberal -

CCW - SP500s and 505a's
Fikse - Mach V and FM5
iForged - I cant remember all the styles, but for riveted wheels I like the Aero's
HRE - there's a couple of different styles from straight spokes, split spokes, multi spokes etc
Boze, Budnik, Boyd - all have some styles that are nice

I dont get it about the wheels! **** the aftermarket, stock SS rims, or the chrome SS rims are sweet! I even like the 94-97 Z28 wheels. I cant stand the bling-bling crap! Its muscle, not hiphop!
