Default black wheels on orange SS.

I was thinking of painting my silver SS wheels black. I think they would look good on my Orange SS. Has anybody else done this? If so any pictures.

Yuck! Sorry, akot of people think black ZR1s loks sweet but I think it takes away from the rim. When you look at a black rim, all you see is black. When you look at a silver or chrome rim, you can see the nice shape and lines of the rim.

the car being lower can also make rims look better. chrome ZR1s actually would look better than black ones but its all up to you and what looks better to you. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

I live in Northwest SA. I've had two LT1 TA's and was thinking about going with a Hugger SS with Grand Sport Wheels. I couldn't give up the fog lights and raised spoiler so I got another TA. Well it's getting painted orange now so I might try it again. Not sure. The closest you'll get for ideas is a Pewter TA at Lackland AFB with Grand Sports.

SStrokedTNTLS1, The hood just arrived Wednesday and am hoping for a fender to be painted by next weekend.
