Default Finally got new rims!!!!

I finally got some new rims. I traded my chrome Z06's for some black Z06's without the rivets, they are 17x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear. The rears do rub a little but im gonna get that fixed with a spacer or something, but anyways here are the pics.

I know you said you traded your chrome wheels for the black, but could you tell me where the black Z06's were purchased from. I can not find anywhere that has them.

looks sweet! I love the black on black look, and I think the headlight blackouts look good on it. Save ur money for the new headlights and get some clear corners. You can always wet sand ur headlights to get rid of the haze. theres a guide on here somewhere
