Default Wheels for SOM WS6

I'm looking at buying some wheels for the T/A. Not sure which ones I want. If you have another wheel you like let me know. Thanks.

Gunmetal wheels look best on SOM.

Any CCW, Fikse or Iforged in gunmetal would look insane.

When I first saw your thread title, I thought I-Forged Aero before I even opened it and saw your poll options. Needless to say, that is what I voted for.

Those wheels are very classy in my opinion. They look good on pretty much all F-bodies, but I love them on NBM and SOM WS6 cars.

I personally like the look of the CCWs. If I had the money that would be the ones I would put on my Z28 som.
