JFYI, there are several different center caps to choose from.
Here is the Carlisle Tri Bar Spinner which are about $300 a set.


You can also get the stock caps that say American SS Racing that matches the Camaro SS lettering.
MBA makes some flat ones that stick out about 1/2". MBA caps
There are also flat caps.
There is the Oakland spinner cap.

And several other choices.

If anyone wants more info, let me know.

BTW, I would paint the rim centers black, leave the lips polished, but mount a flat center cap painted black using round, polished button head screws to hold it on and then black lugs. The flat cap really makes the lips look big, like a deeper dished rim.

I like the black on black look, but I think those wheels should be left alone, they look best with the original finish.

I say go with number two. Since it's a black car I think the black centercap would be overkill. Black car, black spokes. Polished cap, polished lip. It looks A LOT better IMO. I was gonna put black centercaps on my ZR1's, but I think the chrome centercap breaks the black up more since my car is black as well.

Try doing a matte black instead of gloss, I think it will help the wheels to stand out more.

Black spokes, Polished caps, lugs and rims… BY FAR!! I put AR CL200S rims on mine last year. Similar look. Polished rims, matte grey "Coke Bottle" spokes. They F'n ROCK! Looks like you got the same rubber I did (Eagle F1's ?) The CL200S comes all polished and all chrome as well. but that's too much bling for me. Paint the spokes! You'll be happy you did.

That's a bit of an odd question. It's off topic, also. I'll answer you this time, but next time you might want to start a new thread.
I'm guessing you want 16x8?
Check the ARE web site:
http://www.americanracing.com/wheels....asp?section=V

There are several similar styles, some are one piece. If you just want a rim that looks like the TTII, but for a lot less, do a search for the "bullitt" style replicas. They can often be found for under $130ea.
