Buy them polished and have them powdercoated with a glossy finish

One of the posters here did that and they look bad ***

I've wondered the same thing about my car as well. I think I'll end up staying with something chrome, because it just seems to mesh so well as is (I still have stock chrome 16" abs wheels), especially at night. I just need to actually purchase a set one day.
Any pic's of the Z?

I say the gray/charcoal powdercoated TT2s, or Fikse FM5s

01 Red WS6 has some custom powdercoated TT2s that are very similar.

For your color (awesome color btw) I think that would look great, as would the FM5s. The Fikse carry a heavy price tag, but they could make a garbage can look badass.

There were some other wheels available in 18" or so that had a charcoal center Evo's or something I think, a simple 5 spoke wheel, that looked very good.

The camaro will look good with TT2s (just like fikse, they make anything look good) but something with a sharper line always seems to look better on the Camaro to me. Hence my suggestion on the Fikse.
