I was planning on the wheels you're talking about until I actually saw them on a white '98 SS. It didn't look as good as I'd hoped because the black rim seemed to make the tires look too small for the car. Made 18" look like 15".

I also saw the chromed ones (w/o rivets) on a simlar car and, to my surprise, they looked very nice. I'm leaning toward that now or some older C5 rims.

I LOVE C6 wheels, especially on a white Z or SS.

btw if you're selling those SS wheels let me know.

On white, the regular C6's look best in my opinion. Here's my Z with 18x8.5 and 18x10

I think they look tacky on f bodies, like ghetto-fab but that's just my opinion... the tires are also probably ****... I'd go with some zr1s, c5s, or zo6errrrrrs or just have your rims paitned black! I think it would accent the top.

You will like them after you get used to them, they are a big step specially for 18" + so it takes time.
