Anybody running large white wheels?
 
Other than 5 spoke SS wheels. :)

I was toying with the idea of 18" white Z06 wheels..... not sure when finances will give me the chance.

I want some 18" white wheels for my car. but where can i get some????

Just my humble opinion, on a white car, I think charcoal rims look alot better than white rims. White rims have always looked kinda cheap to me. Okay, I'll shut up now..

I've seen a few white notchback Mustangs running 17 or 18 white wheels and they looked pretty sharp. Just curious if anyone has had any success with them on an F-car.

Dag-nabbit, I'm doin' it. This summer, I'll probably order 18" silver Z06's all-round, get them powdercoated white, and have the lip polished.

I was going with chrome, but I've never seen white Z06 wheels, and I just LOVE being different! Will post pics in a few months...... can't wait!

Personally I think that would look killer. I hope you do it. I can't wait to see it.

Check this out. Not my car but this guy has white 18" wheels on a Camaro.

White wheels on a white car look good! That is my opinion and I'm stickin' to it!

I ran a set of 17x9 OZ racing Montecarlos on my white T\A...I painted them white and they looked good, got lots of compliments. I am also a fan of white cars and white wheels. Unfortunately I am a sucker for fat lips on wheels so I went with AR200's in 17x9.5's.

Want to buy my white wheels??

Ricker :drive:

That looks kinda import-ish. Wouldn't recommend white wheels on any f-body, or bronze, or gold...

chevy did it. have you ever seen a 30th anniversary SS. a guy i work with has one and i think they look good.

5POINT7 03-19-2004 07:16 PM

Yeah, I remember it was the 97's. It was ricey then and it's ricey now.

Tech 03-19-2004 08:56 PM

If white wheels are ricey, then so are oversized (19+). There are plenty of 19" wheels that I'd put on my car in a heartbeat (if I didn't race it). Call me a ricer if you want. I didn't really sollicit opinions on what you think of my taste. I just asked if anyone had them. ;)

I'm not sure which ones I'd like better in white. Would you guys go with the Z06's in white with a polished lip, or the Y2K's white with a polished lip?

Both would look good, but I'd definitely go with the white Z06s (this coming from a owner of Y2k wheels)
