Question Do I need to change wheels?

If I were to put a ss hood and spoiler on my 97 z28, would it look ok with the factory wheels or would it not look as good as having the ss wheels. If I were to get the ss wheels, does anyone know where i can get them cheap?

won't look as good with the factory wheels. Get some ss wheels, or even zo6 or zr1, they all look good.

I'm going to sell my painted SS 10 spokes. They are in great condition if you are interested.

Thanks for all the input! If any of you have pictures of a 97 ss with either the zr1 wheels or the z06 wheels post some pics if you can so i can see what they look like. If there are any 97 ss's with the painted scoop post those pics too becuase thats what i am looking at doing in the near future.

get some wheels, they are one of the most visible, focal points on any car. If you pick out some nice wheels and wash your car occasionally you immediately have a :cool lookin ride to the most people. IMO wheels make more of a difference than hoods/spoilers in looks.

You can get some Z06 replicas or TT2's really cheap from TomZ wheels too. The difference over the stock wheels of that particular car (snowflakes?) will be huge. I like the SS wheels (ZR1 & 10spoke), but you may want to look at what the SS guys are getting for their cars. Most of them replace the stock wheels eventually. It wouldn't be a whole lot more to get what you want the first time.
