Ya still get the lightweight over any ol heavy replica or similar and looks are subjective . I think they look a million times better than polished . Do what you want , but instead of red ...on a TA , and if you were gonna pinstripe , Electron blue would be sweet choice and a nice contrast to the black .

Damn. Some of you guys need to calm down with the derogatory remarks and smartass comments.
It really looks great man. Those are great wheels. And you gave a personal touch that made them look even better in your car

looks good but i also prefer the chrome machined lip with black center. or... you could get the lip powder coated white to match the car which would take your unique look one step further

You really can't see the wheels to good in the pics. I bet in person they look 100 times better! Hey, if you can afford to do that to those wheels... more power to ya, some people worry too much about impressing everyone else so they stick to being followers and not leaders! I think they are also called's. They have no idea's of their own so they act this way. Looks damn good and keep your idea's going, in the end you are the one driving it.

Because thats the look he wants and he wanted a quality 18" wheel? Thats really kind of an offensive and ignorant comment.

lol damn lots of haters in this thread. I understand how some ppl are real **** about their wheels having polished lips but those wheels look sick and with stripes or something you will pull it alll together a lot better. If not .... just sell me those wheels for a discount =]

I go literally 2-3 weeks without touching my spokes.. If it is ever so damp on the roads or accidentally drive through a small puddle.. ANY wetness at all on the rims and I get brown/black streaks where every spoke is all the way to the lip.
Not a hater... RPM 505s... I don't have the money for CCWs, but its not a damned OEM wheel!
While I agree a polished lip looks better (to me) and I don't like black rims to begin with. I see your reasoning and don't blame you. I like it!

Not haters, just stating our opinions... and the majority don't think it was a good idea lol. The trendy word "haters" is so ******* annoying too, most people that say it do so wrongfully, like you for example.
Anyways, most people tell me all black wheels look like steelies when you're driving and from a distance... I still want them for that sinister look they give the car overall, so I'm thinking about all black C6Z's.
But personally if I was about to throw down $2000+ for rims for my Camaro, I would sell it and buy a Vette... My Camaro cost me $6000. Fancy rims aren't going to turn it into a Ferrari.
