Default Hmmm... Evos on something other than silver TAs... What do you guys think?(Teal Z)

Alright, in my last post some suggestions that seemed prevalant were TTIIs with graphite gray centers, Z06s(blah), ZR1s(blah!), and Y2K replicas(hmm).

I have come to the conclusion that I will be solely using my car for autox/daily driving and probably work towards making it of show quality.

One wheel that is very affordable and undeniably sexy is the HP Evo

I decided to photoshop a set of those on my car.(God that 3" lip is nice!!!)

What do you guys think? I'm working on making them look like the hyperdarks as I type. Maybe even the black with polished lip, not sure. I think that with the addition of a SS style hood(I think it's Sunoco that makes the larger than OEM but same design SS hoods) and maybe a Berger rear panel with silver inserts, and first gen Z/28 badges... it may look quite bitchin

And in case you are wondering I believe a 1" drop will eventually take place to, so squint your eyes to get rid of the 4x4 look

Here are TTIIs with a charcoal center...

They don't look as good as I thought that they would

For anyone with evos: how hard are they to clean? This will be my daily driver. I'm thinking that hyper dark would be a better choice for me that way the only polished surface I'll have to worry about is the lip.

I couldn't darken up the image without making the wheels look goofy so I can't get those hyper dark photo-chops I was trying to do... doh.

Hyper Dark Evos...

I think they look cool. Now gotta find black ones

What are some other wheels that have a nice lip to them?

Or some that just look plain muscular?

What do you guys think?

And what is the lip size on 18x9s?

And what is the widest you can fit on 18x9 and 19x9.5 without any adverse affects? I think 275s are possible on the 18x9s, could I go as far as 295s on 19x9.5s?

Here are the TTIIs with charcoal centers and a Berger style rear panel... I think it helps to accent these wheels, now I'm leaning back that way

What do you guys think about this?

(Hehe, this photoshopping stuff is kinda neat This looks kinda realistic if I do say so myself )

Black evos...

What do you guys think of all these?

I believe that once I have about 10 or so photo-chops done I'll post all the pictures and a poll

Thanks for the responses guys!

Do you know if there will be any fitment issue with larger brakes? I'm guessing that the LS1 brakes will fit since obviously some of them use TTIIs, but will stuff like Baer or the Corvette rotors and calipers cause any issues?

What do you guys think about these black chrome zr1s?

Not too many people have them(black chrome... I know everyone and their uncle has every other zr1 on their Fbody )

I think they're pretty sweet looking... not too many colors can pull this wheel off right
