Default ordered wheels, getting screwed, AR rebel Black

alright i ordered wheels from a local shop, i ordered 17 x 9.5 american racing rebel black with the mach lip. now i got the wheel and sitting in the showroom it looks REALLY small, cuz the center part is really only 15" cuz the chrome lip is about an inch on each side.

now 2 of the 4 wheels that came in were damaged, and now they are on backorder so i have to wait another month. my question is should i go chrome? it might look better?

i have a black SS so i figured black wheels would look awesome. but i dont know. or should i go a stagger fit, 17x9.5 front and 18x10 rear with a 295\35\18. how would that look?


i need input asap so i can get my wheels sooner than later. thanks.

Why not go with 18's all the way around. I don't like the staggered look on f bodies.

Agreed, that's more of a Vette thing

I have a black 01 trans am, and I was head set on black rims with a machined lip. I decided to go with chrome though because I wanted 17"x9" wheels. With black on black, I think you need a bigger rim to add some colour. My advice is 18's in black or 17's in chrome. I just bought a set of chrome 17x9 AR rebels! (no problems with shipping)
