Wheels for a Red Ws6??? Keep black? Chrome? Need opinions for some new wheels for my car.
when I bought my current wheels 4 years ago (C6 z06 17X9 18X10.5") nobody had these wheels around my area. now I feel like their getting "played out" but I like them too especially staggered look
I'm thinking about going to a C5 chrome wheel deep dish out course,
but what all can i get for my money? I like some BMW wheels but i feel like I wont get the wide look like I do with my current 315/30/18 tires
heres what the car looks like now:
Need opinions on where I should take the look, and I thought about keeping the fronts and going to a Weld RS-T black 15X10 wheel, but I dont know how well it would match up with my combo..
PLEASE post pics if you have a red WS6!!

I might be the only one, but I say stay black, the wheels tie in with the rear lights and the black bird on the front bumper. BTW, your car is what I originally was going to do to mine, meaning have the Trans Am front bumper and add the W68 ground effects from the Firebird GT instead of the TA ground effects. Looks great. BTW, I have a parts list for the Firebird, and if they were still avail(which we know they're not) the ground effect pieces alone including mounting pieces is almost $5000!!!!!!!!!
UNFREAKIN BELIEVABLE!!! for a bunch of metal mounts and 7 pieces of plastic.

I went with Billet Specialties Street Lite Black. Plenty 'shiny' and enough black to tie in with the car. https://ls1tech.com/forums/attachmen...s-dsc03464.jpg

You can't go wrong either way on a red T/A. If you are getting a bit tired of the black, then switch. I know if I ever get rid of my chrome I might try black just for something different for me, not anyone else. I really never tire of the chrome though so it probably won't happen.
