That's the one thing I hate about my car also, it's very hard to mod it with wheels or stripes. I think your wrong though, to me some chrome/black 18" C6 Z06 DD would look fine on there, especially for how cheap they are.

Welcome to the club I saw your post in texas section. I think TT2s look classic but I was looking at forgestar f14's in titanium. Just stay away from black imo. Stick with chrome/polished.

x2. Chrome or polished is the only way to go on NBM and maybe a gunmetal.

I have a set of the following for sale that would look bad *** on your car.

Rears:
315 MT Drag Radials
17 x 10.5 American Racing TTM Series Chrome Wheels
Still some rubber / passes on the tires, I had to purchase an all new setup as I switched to a narrowed rear. That is the only reason I am selling the set.

Fronts:
275 BF Goodrich KD's - Almost New Condition
17 x 9 American Racing TTM Series Chrome Wheels

Send me an email at jason.gyorki@yahoo.com or pm me if you are interested.

Aww why all the hate on black rims... I will admit I wasn't a fan either but wanted something different and got a great deal. They've grown on me and look much better in person. That being said if I end up keeping them a while I'll look at getting the centers powder coated gunmetal. You can't really go wrong with polished/chrome or gunmetal with polished lips on nbm.
