Get the polished and then put black vinyl inserts in the recess and then you can run it either way black or Polished !

Get polished then if you want black for a while you can plastidip them then peel if off when you want to change it up again.

I think they look best all polished though

Nice Camaro, reminds me of my 86 Berlinetta, mine was silver too but with t-tops. I say the polished would look better with the silver.

the rim in the O.P. post is absolutely beautiful (Not the one on the car, but the picture of the rim).

If I was you, I would DEFINATELY go with that one!. Post pictures if you do!

Here are a few pics of my 98SS that I bought a few weeks ago. It has Billet Specialties Streetlites-(custom) Black powder coated in 15"x10" F-body specific 7.5" backspacing & 15"x3.5" w/1.75" backspacing. Tires are M/T 275-60-15 Drag Radials & M/T 28" Sportsmans.

I am not really a fan of black wheels, although I get compliments all the time from the younger crowd. Just not my thing I guess, but am getting used to looking at it.

I will be posting them in the FOR SALE section and the Texas classifieds in the next few days. I ordered a full set of polished wheels and they should be here Friday. If anybody is interested in them just shoot me a PM.

Oh! I dont really know. The set of polished at Jeg's was $1178.00. Mine are custom powder coated and pretty much in perfect condition with centercaps and all. The rears are the F-body specific wheels so no need to grind calipers.

Probably gonna ask about $1100.00 and go from there, for the wheels only as I will be keeping the tires unless someone wants the whole setup and avoid having to dismount the tires.. Might possibly consider a partial trade- in on a nice set of factory SS ZR1 style wheels, or some hotrod parts for the SS.

Here are the pics with the polished wheels, got them mounted up earlier today. Was getting used to the black powdercoated versions but I think I like the polished better.

Rear wheels are 15"x10" w/7.5" BS F-Body specific so no caliper grinding necessary. Rear tires are M/T 275-60-15 Drag Radials 28" tall.
