I recently purchased a 2001 nbm ss that came with black ruff racing r280 wheels. I like the wheels, but I dont like the nbm/black wheel scheme. Im leaning more towards painted: gray/gunmetal/anthracite/or polish wheel maybe chrome. I plan to put berger white stripes.

Opinions welcomed with pics

Thanks. -Luis

 

From an artist stand point I would say go flat/satin on the berger and compliment it with a matching manta on the SS hood. With that a polished wheel would just look awesome.

Consider also doing a gunmetal berger/manta with matching wheels.

 

I've had 6 or so sets of wheels for my NBM car, and always found I liked polished best overall

I also love anthracite torque thrusts on NBM

 

I think the gunmetal/anthracite wheels would look good, but I really like the polished wheels I have with my NBM.

 

Polished or chrome looks really good with NBM in my opinion.

 

polished or chrome is the only way to go if you dont like the black wheels

i had polish tt2 in my formula and loved it but a week before my car was totaled, i put black stock formula wheels on it and almost starting loving how the car looked more on black wheels then polished tt2.

 

I love my hyper black and polished aluminum on my car. Always gets compliments

 

Polished FTW

 

polished ...... the end

 

i had black with chrome lip hp's and now im on some 18" c5's in chrome...looks better i think with chrome

 

painted the wheels on my old t/a a mixed Glasurit color with an "eggshell" flat clear. got compliments all the time

 

semi gloss gold

 

thank you for ditching the black wheels. thats the worst combo ever imo.

 

Ya black on nbm looks way out of place imo

 

Machined face wheels looks sick on NBM

 

Here is mine

 

What part of the bay area are you from? My car looks like yours

 

I live down in Gilroy but I work in San Jose.

 

I wasn't a fan of black on nbm but ended up with this combo and its grown on me. I may end up having the centers powder coated anthracite eventually though.

 

you plan on lowering the car ?
