Which wheel would you pick for a nmb formula? Black deep dish 5spokes or black c5 Z06 with a machined lip no rivits

:Dcome om guys I know you have opinions.

I'd run stock twisties before I ran either of those wheels.

They'd both look terrible on a Formula, IMO.

NBM Formulas are gorgeous, don't ruin it with either of those wheels!! Those are some of the worst wheels that people put on these cars IMO.

And I'd rethink running black wheels on a NBM car. I was thinking of doing it on mine, but after seeing some photoshops I changed my mind. I ended up going with '01-'02 WS6's (thick spoke). I got a great deal on them, but I actually think they look great on the car.

I think a gunmetal wheel would look great on a NBM car though.

Actually as far as black goes, black ZR1's with a polished lip might look nice with NBM, but I've never seen it before. Maybe you should try that!

What size 18s, 19s?

BTW, black wheels would look really good on your car, just not the two your looking at.

Take a look at Wheelsnext.com, and Wheelstudio.com

I wouldnt do black wheels on a nbm car.

check my sig, chrome C5 Z06 wheels. I had polished before but since switching to chrome its amazing how good it looks with NBM.

I have the bllack zr 1 's with the chromew lip on my formula and love it

jorgez28 06-12-2009 03:32 PM

17 or 18 I think black would be ok I have a black roof too

LT1-Camo 06-12-2009 03:38 PM

i say go with the C5 5 spokes..but not in black i say chrome..just my 2 cents...good luck with your decision

The idea of putting black rims on my NBM TA passed through my head, but it just doesnt go together that well IMO so I ended up just going with machined chrome C6 rims. I still have black on them, they just happen to be on the inside of the rim instead of the on the spokes lol.

Gunmetal rims look good on NBM F-Bodies IMO tho.

I have a nbm formula and I run the stock silver wheels polished and clean looking.

That sounds good! I'm looking forward to seeing pics.

Chrome or silver 10 spokes :secret2:

I kinda like the speedline ws6 wheels, if I didn't have the 10 spokes I'd probably buy a set of those. Oh, and chrome y2k c5 wheels look good too :D
I'd go chrome/polished on an nbm car.

Good luck

I really like that C5 deep dish on that vehicle. Make sure you call to check stock 1-866-273-3651.

18" chrome Y2K C5s or 18" chrome C5 Z06s. /thread.

jorgez28 06-14-2009 11:15 PM
