Default Pics of my new 18x10.5 Black Z06 Motorsport rims...and usually I hate black rims

I wasn't a big fan of black wheels until I got a whiff of these...thoughts?


Only negative is that they are heavy as ****. Weigh about 5lbs more than my old 17x9.5 cast 3 piece Enkei win wheels w/ 275/40/17 tires.

I paid $1100 and traded in my 7 yr old Enkei 17x9.5 win wheels/tires that each had a buttload of curb rash. the were probably worth about squat.....

Hal R series coilovers/shocks up front.....stock springs in back w/ Hal shocks....taller tires in back make it look lowered, but it's not.

That looks very very good. So many wheels look good on F-bodies its gonna be hard to make a decision.

i like the wheels...but not on your car. sorry to be the first negative. to tell you the truth, i haven't seen many f-body's with black rims of any sort and thought it looked good. however, i saw a white c5 with the black z06s and i think that might have been the nicest corvette i've ever seen. the only other thing i think they'd go well on is a white trans am - and that's very iffy, considering i've never seen one, but the thought sounds enticing. not a big fan of them on your car though, i say still to stick with chrome or polished, and especially so on a dark car - sorry.
