I'm looking for some black rims. No chrome, all black. With a defined lip. I'm just not having any luck searching online. Pics of any members cars with the described wheels are welcome here too. Thanks guys!

I like those c7s. But I like a little lip. And the sidewall of a 17 if I can.

In your case, find a set of used FM5's in need of refinishing, and paint them how you like. To find a used set in good condition will probably set you back $2,000-$3,000 depending on whether or not they have tires. For just the wheels alone, brand new you're in the mid $3,000 range I think.

Yeah I saw that when I was doing some research. They are awesome looking but I'm probably not in the market for 3k rims unfortunately. So the search continues.

Does anyone know if the 9 inch wide c5s have a lip on it or is it just just the 11 inch?

You might be able to score a scratched up set with crappy finish for around $1,500 I'd think, but if you want them to be all black and stay nice, you'd probably want them powdercoated. By the time that's all said and done, you could have a different set (or two) of brand new wheels with tires.

Fikse's are a dream of mine, but they're a long ways away.

Why don't you check out the deep dish C6 Z06 wheels that OEWheels sells? They would look great in all black.

Any one ID these? I'm sure they are discontinued, seems like all the rims I'm finding aren't available anymore.

Rear isn't shortened, I always thought I wasn't rubbing the 335's out back till I rebuilt the brakes and noticed rubbing on a spot on the inner fender. I beat the **** out of it to ensure I didn't rub, guess it wasn't enough
