Have you checked out anything in a black chrome finish? Black chrome is one of my favs, but I like both you posted up. I actually kinda like the first ones carbon fiber look, but I guess I'd have to see it on the car to form a final opinion.

The konig hotswap is cool, but i would have chosen the black insert. The Ziniks are gorgeous. I was going to buy the Zinik Z21, which is very similar to the Z27, but was told by a rep at tirerack that the Impala studs are too long to allow the center cap to snap in place properly. With $300+ wheels, I didn't want to have to do a "trial & error" process.

Guz that car is badass, I do like rim option 2 from the OP also. That black/black makes me want a GXP though!

I like number 1.

Nacho, I think he said they were 20" X 8.5", not really sure about the offset, but I think they're +35???
