Pewter with competition grey wheels?? Trying to decide on which finish to go with on the c5 DD wheels I plan on purchasing. I was just planning on going polished, but I like the look of the competition grey. I would love to see some pictures of it on a pewter car if anybody has one.
These will be going on my '99 Trans Am. Another factor playing into my decision is that I am only going 17x9.5 all around, so I don't want the darker color to make them appear too small. Before anybody tries telling me to just go 18", the car is my DD/Autox toy. 17" is the optimal size for autocross, not to mention the savings on rubber versus going with an 18" setup. I really wish OEwheels sold some 17" wheels wider than a 9.5" other than the zr1's though..

I contacted them yesterday....No plans for 17x10.5's
I don't understand their reasoning with what they decide to produce. If they would offer these wheels in 17x10.5 they wouldn't be able to keep them on the shelf.
