I know of 4 designs that look awsome, but I couldnt tell you what they are...


I just see them at stop lights, and you can tell wich are the higher" end package wheels....


Saab also has some really nice stock rims on there newer cars

I can also get 4 of these in the 19x9.5 with 3" lip 38mm offset for about $870 total. I'm thinking about this style in 18" as well. Whatever I get I'll have the lip polished by a pro to make it like chrome.

My old standby is 4 of the chrome C6 rims in 18x10.5 mounted with 295/35/18 for $1750 total. Now that would be a beefy look. I could switch over to 315's later as well.

I'm thinking black may not be the way to go on my black car. What about these in chrome? 18x9.5 45mm backspace. I'm probably going to need hubcentric rings to help center any of these BMW style rims as well.

Actually the black ones with the polished lip that look like HP Evos would look awesome on a black car.

I don't particularly care for black wheels on a black car. You need some contrast IMO.

That's what my friend was telling me. I'll probably go with a chrome or mix of chrome and silver of some type. I'm also leaning towards 18's, at least in the front. Black car below has 18's.



This car has 19's.



Black cars in attachment have 19's.

The other main rim I'm leaning toward is not a BMW rim, but a vette rim. This is Venom WS7's car with 18's.

Well, I have a lowered black TA so it's pretty similar to Venoms car above. Black and chrome always go well together. I would just be getting the wider version of the C6 rims. I've yet to see an F-body with the 18x10.5 rims all around. Another possibility would be getting the 18x9.5 front and 19x10 rear and run a tire about 1/2 taller in the rear. Say a 275/35/18 front and a 295/35/19 rear. Front is stock 25.7" diameter, rear would be 26.1" diameter.
