looks good dude! I just put ruff racing 280's on my SS...I was looking at the 279's and I LOVE them...but I have the whole black and white theme going on with my car and couldnt find them black so the 280's were my second choice. I have 275's up front, 285's in the rear

thanks

Im happy with them. I went from black TTMs to these and I love them. Their a pain in the *** to keep clean tho with the big dish. They collect dirt pretty easily.

Looks good OP. I know a guy that has them in gunmetal on a white LT1 T/A, not sure on the sizes though. But, I think they look a lot better on your car.

Those look really good, and more appropriate for a WS6 than vette wheels. The offsite in size works - all in all great job - congrats!

Looks great! I like how you take chances and have done different than normal things with this car (19's, Z28 like chrome tips) but done it tastefully so it doesn't look like a "baller" ride but still looks like a performance car...

Seeing your car makes me wish I had gotten the chrome Ruff 278s rather than the hyper black.

I always like the look of a nice chrome rim on a lighter color car.

thanks guys, ya I wanted something a little bit different without people telling me, "What the hell did you do to your car?" After I lower it i'm done, looks wise, I don't want to over do it with anything. Yeah the camera sucks sorry. Alchemist, I was deciding whether I wanted to go chrome or hyper black and it was a tough choice, I definately like the hyper black on your car though, they look great. I actually almost got the 278's but changed my mind at the last second

needs some fatter tires, they almost look too small, like the "hellaflush" guys do with their stretched tires.
