I like the 98-01 ws6 wheels on your car already. I just bought me another set of them!

Thankx for all the input guys. After bouncing some ideas off Scott @ OE & a few local guys, I have made a final decision. Cant spill the beans right now as its gonna take several months to get the car repainted & wheels all finished(and I dont want this idea stolen yet, after its done & pics posted the scheme is free game, LOL). But its a unique look for sure, I could not find a single pic similar to what I'm wanting on any forum I searched or even pics through yahoo image search.

You could always get a set, have them stripped and then polished. They actually look pretty good, and wont cost you the price of chrome.

I think the stock 10 spokes are some of the nicest looking wheels for these cars. When I see the 10 spokes I automatically think SS. Those wheels define what the car is. I think they look great in stock silver, chromed ones are awesome and even seen some painted a darker grey or gunmetal. Black I'm not a huge fan of on these 10 spokes. It would be nice if they started producing this wheel in 17 x 11.

With everyone replacing the 10 spokes for something else, they get rarer and rarer to see on the street. When you do see one its like, whoa, there goes an SS.

If it wasn't raining I'd snap a few better pics since it's been polished/waxed, and the sail panel's been painted.

I actually just made a deal on a set of wheels. I departed from the 10 spoke idea for a couple reasons. Biggest reason was what everyone wants for a set. Went with a aftermarket wheel. Gotta wait till the car gets painted to see if I'll leave the wheels I'm buying as is or if I'll follow through with what I had planned. So far with the wheels as is I still havent found a pic of them on a T/A painted the color I'm goin with.
