I've got had the Black Z06s with rivets on my black one until friday, and swapped them to the WS6. Looks good on any fbody in my opinion, good choice.

what rubbers are you running?
and what spacers did you use in the rear?
Im thinking nitto 555 275/35zr18 in the front and nitto 555rII 305/35zr18 rears. So far I gather that in the rear I should need 5/16 spacer and an adjustible pitman arm (just to keep the rear end centered). Im also going to get ARP studs and drop springs with stiff struts.

They will look good on their bro, don't worry. I like the black and the gunmetal with polished lip. I would paint the calipers gunmetal or silver also.

OK
got the rims
I like them... but I dont love them.... I guess they will grow on me, till something better comes along.

not much room between the lower controle arm in the rear and the rim, but I can cut some shims at work if need be

No rims look good without tires! Once you mount some tires on there i'm sure you will like them a lot more!

Might not be a bad idea....
look good as soon as I lower it, the morning commute wont be bad at all, but the oncomming trafic might be a bit painfull.
