Default Would these look good on my car?

I have been thinking about selling my rims. I love the rims I have but I live on a dirt road and they are becoming a pain to clean.

What do you think of these on my car?

I think they would look better than the wheels that are currently on your car. I personally prefer some sort of polished lip to break up the wheel and the tire.

Red and black is always a classic look.

Same rims with a chrome lip would be better. imo

I prefer the C5Z wheels on the F-Body. I just do not think the C6Z wheels complement the car as well. Both would look good in black on your car, but IMO the C5Zs would be much better.

They would definately look way better than the wheels that are on it. Some black wheels with a polished lip look the best though.

another vote for the polished lip is a must. Only way black wheels look good 99% of the time IMO. I also agree you should replace your wheels

I think you should buy some 10 spoke camaro wheels and paint them black. There is a picture floating around here with a red camaro and paint black 10 spokes. Maybe someone has it on the computer. Second opinion would be to get those black wheels you posted. Third opinion would be to put a cheap assfault *Spelling* driveway down.

Look at my sig. If you get those black rims you should get a chrome lip on them. Looks soo much better and doesn't look like a hubcap fell off!

If you are talking about the rims the guy painted, I did see them, they look very nice. And for the drive way...I currently live with my parents and our driveway is about 1/4 - 3/8's of a mile long we are set way back off of a dirt road. So I have about 2 miles to drive until I hit pavement.

For some reason I use to hate black rims, but they are slowly growing on me. I still am not a fan of rims w/ polished/chrome lips idk why??? Who knows maybe after seeing some different cars with them I might....
