Default New wheels...
I loved my chrome ZR1's, but I figured a set of black wheels would be more fitting on my car. So I picked up a set of stock SS wheels...



Annnnd had them powdercoated gloss black...









The pics suck, they look WAY better in person. After I lower the car I might add a red pinstripe around the lip, not sure yet though. But damn, it REALLY needs lowered bad doesn't it? Other than that I'm really happy with the way my car is coming together.

Let me know what you guys think

Really like it. I have been thinking to do that to my Black Z28, which I have the same plane Stock SS wheels. What did you pay for them to be powder coated if you dont mind me asking?

Those look good man. A pinstripe would definitely look good and be a little different.

Not a fan of chrome and some polished rims so the black REALLY sets off the cars attitude. Street fighter's ftw! Looks good!

I say keep them the way they are. It looks damn good without having a pinstripe.
