Default What kind of wheels on Silver

I'll probably be getting more wheels soon. I'd like to hear ya'lls opinions on what kind of wheels look good on silver. I had Grand Sports before and really thinking about getting some more. I like some of the Boyd Coddington wheels and my friend mentioned some of the gunmetal Z06's. Give me some ideas. I'd really like to stick with 17x9.5

No TT2's

I think the gunmetal Z06s would look great. I have an OEM set (18x10.5 in the back though) with tires if you're interested, just shoot me a PM

I like the look of a darker wheel on a silver car. black would look great. Gunmetal would look great too. Maybe a black rim with a polished lip, like some black Z06 motorsports.

Not too big on the Z06 motorsport wheels. I had Grandsports before, but I'm really starting to lean towards the gunmetal Z06's. I can get them for $570 shipped off of Ebay.

If you want to stay cheap, go with some Z06 wheels or back to the good ole' GS's. If you want to let your ***** drop, get some anodized black or grey Fikse FM5s or 10s.

I thought your car looked mean as hell with the Grand Sports on it.
