number 2 wheel comes in Gunmetal or Black. I think black would look better. Im still searching for pics of gunmetal. I know another member mention earlier has the black with polished lip.

I say chrome c6s. Chrome wheels on white cars look great.

Well I came across wheels like Pic 1 ,but has a polished outter lip. These 2 pics now have me debating between pic 1 and pic 2 now. This is a mean setup. I am already ordering the SLP grille like in these pics and have already cut out the black decal for my hood. Let me know what you guys think!

No reason to start a new thread ,but since I'm now narrowing down my choices and have gathered info on wheels. I am now debating on what size wheels. I would like 18 or 17 x10.5 no matter what on the rear. Only reason i would do 17s in the rear is to get much cheaper drag radials but i don't want to have a large gap between the wheel well. Sooo basically would you guys do 18s all around, 17s all around or 18x10.5,17x9.5? Any input would be great
Thanks
