IMO, C5 Z06 wheels look good on pewter F-Bodies.

Im going with the Torque Thrust M's in Anthracid. I have always like that type of finish for pewter but chrome looks good too. I have the Chrome Firehawks but they will soon be gone to a Firehawk owner. At home I have a collection of pewter birds and can post some up tonight

dark pewter with more black in it, DEFINATELY go black. If you have the lighter colored pewter you can get away with chrome, but i think black would still look better. And please, don't get any C6 rims.....as a matter of fact....think twice before you buy C5 Zo6 rims....you'll regret it later...i do, they are too common.
