I have an 02 NBM Camaro with Firebird silver 5 spoke wheels. I am debating what to do with them. I like them stock however, I am just kind of ready for a change.

Thanks a ton guys!

either gun metal or black as long as you DONT paint the lip, you have to leave the lip otherwise they look like shitty donutsat least stock wheels look this way, now if you had aftermarket that might be a different story

when i say lip, jsut look at my wheels, and you'll see what I mean

I'd probably just leave them silver. Black wouldn't look that bad I guess.

Leave them the way they are. The car looks good with those wheels like it is now. I'd hold off and just get different wheels.

I voted Gunmetal but that was before I realized you were keeping those wheels.
Yeah, certainly keep them stock silver.
If you do change to other wheels, then I think gunmetal would look the best.
Just save your time and money and put them both towards some new wheels!

Out of those choices, I would say just leave them how they are.
