Default Looking for Gunmetal/Dark gray wheels w/ Polished lip

I want something different to put on my Silver Z (currently 17x9 and 17x11 ZR1 wheels). I considered the Grand sport style black wheels w/ polished lip, but don't think it will look very good. They're just too dark. So now I'm looking for a Gunmetal/dark gray setup. I'm open to different style wheels if anyone has any ideas or suggestions.

Check out the American racing wheels. They look like the ET wheels of the 70's-80's. Matte gray 5 spoke design with a polished (or polishable) lip. I think they come in 11" widths but not sure.

Thanks for the pics guys. Yeah I had looked at the American Racing wheels (both the AR 200s and the TTII's).

-Sebring...do you have any other pics of your car from different angles? If so, I'd love to see them.

The Modena wheel is very nice...a little more 'exotic' than the AR wheels. That's what I'm looking for. I'd love to see a picture of that wheel on a Camaro.

Anyone else got any suggestions?

Ebbs... I have those Modena's on my T/A (the 1st in the USA ) They are quite pricey, but not as much as HRE's. I waited 6 months to get them, but I was told by the guys at GroupA that they should have some in stock that will work for f-bodys. My sizes are 19x9.5 and 19x10.5. Hit the link and check them out. BTW, mine are bright silver finish. http://community.webshots.com/user/jeff1vol
good luck! Email me if you have any questions.

Jeff-
Those are very sweet! I was afraid that they would be pricey. I saw a set on a Ferarri earlier, and I knew immediately that they would be expensive. Afterall no one puts cheap wheels on their $150K car.

Ebbsnflows, Tell me what angle pictures you want and I'll take them. It probably won't be until tomorrow sometime though because it won't stop raining here in Houston. I'll just take some random shots if you don't care.

If you could just walk around the car and take some at varying angles. Similar to the angles that the impala and T/A have above. I just want to get an idea of how offset is on the rear tires. Also maybe a close up shot of the wheel (showing the qtr panel) so I can better judge the color of the rim vs the color of the paint. I really appreciate this!

You could get the dark one and have them re-finished with power coat. Might get expensive though

SebringSilverZ-
Those look like the original CL205's from AR, are they? I like those.. they look more like the old TT D's then the onces with the gloss painted spokes. Nice!

Yeah they are the CL205's. They are very similar to the Torque Thrust D's (which you can only get up to a 16" I think) in that the spokes have the flat color and are rough, but the CL's have the polished lip which look a lot better, in my opinion.

Nice!
Thanks for the compliment! I think it is about time for a change in wheels though, so I think I am getting ready to sell these. I've already got another set of 17's sitting in the garage, but I am thinking I want to step up to 18's.
