I don't like any of them. The black on black is too much even with a chrome lip and I'm not a fan of aluminum wheels on anything.

Never a fan of aluminum. Too many cars have silver colored plastic wheel covers so thats what it reminds me of. Chrome, well unless your into that flashy crap (relax, just my opinion) then go with it, not bad i guess. Me personally, when you do black do it all the way. I also think the silver lip could fly. Everything else just stands out too much with black. Chrome maybe because the mirror effect.

I know when I saw my Camaro before I bought it the previous owner had black wheels on it. Black on black, had me sold on it.

Black is my color of choice. It kicks ***, incase you didn't already know.

oh and just comment on the "stealth look". I totally agree. I was going for the same thing. I actually took it a step further by not turning the lights on. Also stopped driving it all together. Just throw it in neutral and push it down the street at night.
It's like Im not even there. But I feel like an *** If Im not back before sunrise (gotta remember my keys nexttime).

lol, put a hybrid then no one will hear you. It looks like the black rims came back at first everyone was sold on the aluminum and now it looks like the black rims are almost even.

Those true fire flames make your car unique, but honestly I think maybe some different rims would look better on your car.

* some suggestions...black centers or chrome would probably look best...








You could go with a more classic wheel design to match your flame-theme.






Just my opinion, it's your car and as long as you're happy with your decision, thats all that matters.

(yeah man i would definately get some of those kinds of rims but the ones it has on were given to me so i could not beat that.) I have to TTII's but they are 18's by 11's in the rear and 17's in the front. The current set are 19 and 18's.

IMO black rims only look good with a big polished or chrome lip
