Cool Ruff 278s or 280s for Pewter Z28???

Nittos aren't going to do any good in the snow so its time for new tires. So I may just as well buy new wheels.


I have a pewter Z28 with a chrome and black theme going.


What do you guys prefer on my car? And in Hyper Black, or plain Chrome?

Ruff Racing 278


or

Ruff Racing 280s



The reason I can't decide on color is I don't really know what hyperblack is. Is it the same as the titanium, silver, and gunmetal options?

I'd like to keep my rims shiny as with the theme of my car, but I've seen some good results with gunmetal on pewter cars.


A few pics of my car for reference.

I'm not totally sure how I like the 280s. I was looking for something along the line of CCWs but obviously much cheaper. I haven't really found a ton of pics of them on camaros.

Can anyone explain what exactly Hyperblack is?

I voted hyper black 278's. The 280's are ugly "IMO" and both types of the wheels in chrome are too flashy IMO.

I like TT2s, Prostars, C6Z06, ZR1s... Before anyone says, "those are on everyone's car already" It's because they look GOOD.

Love them!

Love them!

Loved them, curbed them and sold them

I have mixed feelings on the TT2s. Some pictures I've seen look great, others not so much.

ZR1s look too much like my stock wheels to me.

I don't like Z06s... C5 or C6.

My car doesn't have the power to warrent prostars

I like deep dish wheels.

My car is pewter and it is hard to find a good color for it. I think chrome is the only real way to go.
