I think a set of silver painted Z06 wheels would look sweet on your car... Since my SS is black.. i want a set of chromed Z06 wheels... or possibly the silver painted ones.. i dunno.. But Z06 wheels look badass on SS's

Well, this week I'm ordering from billet specialties, they make amazing wheels but they are expensive. I would tell you what kind I'm getting, but I will post pics later, I want to be unique. Ne how, I'm not too big with Colorado Custom, but billet specialties are very nice. Also, check out some ZR1's for a pewter SS, my uncle has them---looks sweet. Go with something simple on a pewter SS, like 5 stars

Good luck, Mike

SLP 2000 Camaro SS: MTI clear lid ram air, K&N air filter and cleaner, SLP 3" loudmouth exhaust with optional 3 1/2 chrome tips, Mobil-1 synthetic oil, GTS Smoke "blackout" covers (front only) billet antenna, CAMARO decals (rear) custom SS sticker under ram air hood, custom SS mats (designed by myself!), stut tower brace by BMR, limo tints all the way around, custom signature stickers of my name on interior doors, custom made SS sticker (center console), "armor" protective optional paint from factory...........more to come.

I have polished Torq Thrust II's on my pewter 99 SS. I think they look great. Especially with 315's out back. The Fiske wheels look really good also, but there not cheap. I can send you pics if you want.

My work email is moorevincent@ems.att.com.. It is hard to find a wheel that no one has and when you do it is expensive..

There are a lot of people with Torq thrust Twos now. Originally I had planned on buying them, but I've changed my mind since everyone has them now. I would try to find a rim that nobody has yet. But the Fiske does look really good.

I think most of us would agree that dark colored cars can get away with looking great with either Chrome or Satin wheels. The lighter or in between colored cars I'm not sure what the rules are. I have a Pewter Z myself and am curious what those 10 spoke SS wheels in chrome will look like. I like the ZO6 in chrome and certainly everyone has seen how great they look on Steven Rupp's SS but I think a lot of people are jumping on the ZO6 wagon and I want to go with something less popular but still looks sharp.

Just my .2 cents.

I think 18" ZO6 rims look awesome on SS's. On a pewter car I would go chrome. My car is black and I prefere painted ones. Pics are in my sig. Good luck!!!
