I love black rims, but I think with the tan top chrome Zr1's would look better.

Nice car NE-way.

I liked the others better. The new ones are a little too ghetto in my opinion.

i hate chrome on camaros, and i hate big wheels on camaros...

but honestly i think it looked good before, i actualy like it... i think with the white and black wheels with the tan top is to much... go back to the big wheels imo... strange to see these words comming from my mouth...

Looks way better with the 17's much more sporty......Like they said get the top black....and maybe some black accents like blacking out the back and stuff and it will look sick! Anyways good choice...i know a friend that had this problrm and went to a place and they painted is convertable top with some type of vinyl paint for like 150$

I JUST GOT THAT TOP LIKE LAST MONTH!! lol i payed $1000 for it installed. I have a beige interior and stuff, so the black top would match the outside but not the inside. I think i might just black out the windows, and the tail light panel thingy, and keep it like that.
