Default New Wheels Are On The Car!

Well finally she is close to being done, here are the best pics i've gotten so far of the wheels on the car, they are AR Rebels 18x10's in the back and 18X9's up front, only 275's on the rear right now as i got these used for a pretty good price. The wheels are rashed kinda bad in some places so im thinking of how they will look Machined face with silver in the side. Anyways, here is the pic, we were going for different and since i've never seen these wheels on a LT1 Trans Am before and the same with the paint job i think we accomplished that. Let me know what you guys think

Black center wheels would look 10x better with that custom paint, since the lower half is black.

I did consider these heavily but there were a few reasons i went with these.
1. HP Evo's dont really look all that good to me unless they're 19's then they look kick ***, but i dont want to go that big, tires are a bitch
2. I picked these up, wheels and tires for $600 shipped
3. I wanted to be different and thought that the big spokes would give it a meaty aggressive look
4. A friend of mine with a black T/A with the same hood and everything already has 19" Evo's and we drive around together a lot so i didnt want to copy him

You mean like have the spokes black and then leave the lip chrome? I am seriously considering doing something like this because they really need some TLC, the pics dont show it but what i really want to do is either machine the face or have them clean out the chrome and paint the wheels a certain color, maybe black with a machined lip?
