Looks really bad ***, man!! +1 on doing a pinstripe on the inside!! And may I also suggest white like the other guys did! But do 1/8th inch to be subtle.
My buddies T/A has black CCW SP500 19x10 & 19x11. F**k lips...all black baby!

I can't even see the wheel. Personally I don't like all black wheels. If you paid to have them painted, you could have just had them cleaned up and had a few coats of clear put on them so you wouldn't have to clean them so much. I understand the pain of keeping up with polished wheels, but there are better alternatives.

Thank you for all the compliments and opinions...i won't be doing any mods for awhile...my next project will be a streetbike. I got them powdercoated because i've had the wheels for about 3 years and i got tired of the same ol polished look that everyone has with the CCW's. I wanted something different and i love black wheels...it gives the car a sinister look!

The Ruff wheels are a bit more aggressive I guess you could say. They are more sharp as far as the spokes. The CCWs are more smooth and tranistion back to the lip smoother..

Normally I don't like all black wheels AT ALL. But for some reason i think they look good on that car. Please keep off the stripes, the ceta is enough. Maybe just a molding delete to clean things up. Looks good though, I like it!

I love it! Agreed on the pictures not doing it justice. I've been researching doing that to the SP500's. Sorry, but I dont feel that having done that to a set of C6z's would create the same effect. My opinion: C6, C6Z's (either version) do not look good on F-bodys. I love the polished look of CCW's, but when you want the look you've created, they just dont work polished. My 01 SS is all blacked out, and I am looking to keep that same look, but upgrade from the worn out 18" Y2K's that the previous owner powder coated and its flaking off on the inside of the drum. If you cant handle all the " I dont like it" opinions, you can sell them to me!!! I say as long as you're happy with the results, dont worry about what everyone else thinks. Its your car and your the one driving it! The saying goes: " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
