Here is a pic of my old Z28, same wheels as your current ones, but 18's all around, but just to give you an idea of what polished lips might look like

I had the black rims for few months now. I kinda got tired of them. They look good but I think with polished/chrome lip will look better.
Specially bc I'm going back to chrome headlights and clear corner lights.

C6 rims look good. But I think they are to big for an f-body.
C5 rims are good size.


Just can't decide if going for 17s zr1s or get other rims 18s all around.
I plan on doing ctsv front calipers on the future.
And I was told that I need 18 inch rim for that.




Keep the pics coming guys

Then to go with your look, I'd go with either chrome or polished.

Chrome if you don't want the hassle of cleaning the wheels about every other day, lol.

Polish if you don't mind a little work on polishing them every so often.

Yeah. If I remember right tripblackls1 is a turbo car. Might be 4.8 turbo if my memory is correct.

Buddy, your not the only one, lol. In the first pic after looking back, I thought it was the lighting and/or the camera angle but completely missed it in the 2nd pic.
