Default Wheels on red ls1

What do you guys think are the best looking wheels for a red LS1? There are so many choices but very few to see around my town. Thanks

Depends on what type of wheel you like. If you want a simple "non-flashy" wheel but have some money to fork out, I would say go for the Fikse FM5. If you want something a bit more flashy around the same price, I would suggest some CCW's. If you want something a bit cheaper, I would suggest the new AR wheels.

Right now the car is stock. I was kinda looking for something polished. As far as money, I don't really care as much about that. I just want something that looks good. Anyone got any pics of the wheels on a red car?

I've had silver stock 5 spoke Z28 wheels, then I painted them black, then I got chrome ZR1s, but the chrome started peeling so I sold them. Then I got black ZR1s and after a while, I painted them all black, got sick of that, painted the entire lip silver, and finally sold them to get the BBS LMs I have now. There really are many choices out there, so you basically need to just find the set you like.
