Default Wheels opinions please

During the winter or spring i plan on getting new wheels for the bird. However im having a hard time choosing with all the lovely choices. The wheels will definitly be 18's. I was considering HP EVO's Black, HP EVO's Chrome, or possibly even RUFF Racing 278's in black. I was wondering what suggestions you guys have or any thoughts on the wheels mentioned on my car.

I think Evos look killer on Lt1 birds. I'd do the brushed look they have but thats not one of your choices. I'd do black over chrome on those rims. Chrome Evos may be too flashy.

Well this is the wrong forum.....but I would do the chrome evos. I personally like that look over the black. But if you really like the black look, then they would probably look good on your car.

Okay....I just looked at pics of black Evo's with a chrome lip, and they looked pretty dang sweet. So I think if you got some black accents on your car somewhere, then the black evo's with a chrome lip would be sick on your car!

Hyper Silver EVO's would look 10x better than black on that car. They would match the car perfectly. That is what I'd put on a silver Firebird.

Another vote for the Evos. I think hyper dark would look killer.
