i think you cant go wrong with black ttm's. it would look hot. some say its overplayed, but thats because it looks awesome. if you were going with Z06's, id say do em in chrome, they look cheap in black.

I think they're okay. If you're wanting black wheels I like the black ruff racing 278's too.

Those are sick man. A little more than I want to spend though. I'm looking for wheels at or under 500 excluding shipping. I love the machined lip look, and honestly I just really don't think the TTM's are going to work with how I want the car to look.

All the ones I really like alot are more, go figure. Do you guys think the all black 10 spokes with the car murdered out with black would look bad?

I'm not a fan of the wheels that are completely black with no lip, but if you blacked everything on the car out it might look pretty good.

I never was either until I saw some guy on here have his car like that. I dunno. I just hate to spend the $ on somewhat expensive wheels aka anything but the all black 10 spokes.
Kinda sucks I have to get some new ones, no.....really sucks. The good thing is, whatever wheels I get I'm getting free new tires with them, so that burden will be alleviated.

For the price you're looking for, I like the TTM's the best.

Um, I'll say just the wheels no shipping, less than 550-600 and less than 650-700 to my door. That's even more than I want to spend, but in reality not much can be had for less than 600 shipped with a machined deep dish lip.

i know you said the hyperblack 278s were too much but check out ebay, they're pretty close to what you want to spend for some sick wheels
