it looks good. but definitely needs a drop. then it'll really look great. black car + black rims/polished lip = greatness! i tested it out on my car a while ago and fell in love with it.

Looks like a 17,18" combo C5 deep dish black w/ machined lip from oe wheels.

I'm waiting for them to release the 18x9.5 for front ( april i think ) actually I'm on a call list, or I might just wait for the release of the 17x11 version in may I think, cheaper tires!

I'm putting them on a pewter ws6, think it would look good?

looks great. i would get a small spacer on the rear, setting the wheels out 1/4" would make a huge difference. I did an entire inch, but it was on the original version of those wheels, not deep dish.

i plan on getting these but gray for my LT1 WS6. What sizes did you go with? Would a 315 really fit on there? I thought you needed an 11 or 11.5 inch rim for 315's.

17x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 in the rears....315 will fit on a 10.5 inch rim just fine....if lowered might require BFH
