Default Black Speedlines on my Camaro

Just wanted to do something different. Black WS6 Speedlines on a Camaro. What do you think?

I'm used to seeing them on TA's but they don't look bad on your car.

Can't really stand the speedlines personally, they look more "import" to me.

I think black 10 spokes would have looked a lot more aggressive.

You stole my idea, except I would paint them totally comp gray/graphite to go on my black car!

To me, they ARE the best looking factory wheel ever offered on an f body, except I just cannot stand polished, or chromie-homie bling.

But the paint just makes them PERFECT!!

Where did you find them?

Did you paint these yourself or have them professionally done?

I like the Speedlines. The only reason I'd get rid of them is to upgrade to a wider wheel. And I might just have them widened... Dunno yet.

Looks like donuts... not digging it. Should have left the lips polished IMO

I bet it would look better lowered.

I fully agree it needs to be (properly) lowered, but I totally disagree with the polished/chrome lip thing.

Looks like a black set of the 97-99 16" Camaro 5 spokes. Sorry, not a fan.

I painted them myself. I only had them because they were on my T/A and the only wheels I run for that car now are drag wheels. I sold the orignal 10 spokes to fund some other stuff but this was just a what if kind of thing. I do agree they look like the Z28 5 spokes and that kind of ruins it.

Don't worry the 4x4 look is going away soon

Pretty much just that. Me and my buddy took some 150 sandpaper and sanded the entire wheel, cleaned off the dust/particles, then used paint thinner to clean it again and then sprayed the paint on. We put it out in the sun for about a day before handling to make sure they were dry enough. They've been on the car for about a month and they look great and don't peel,flake or chip off in sections like most people I've seen who rattle can thier wheels.
