Default what do you guys think?
Im really thinking of selling my rims, they look great but kinda looking at something different now since im shopping for a SS and might run with ZR-1s.

just need some input, the SS im looking at looks almost just like my car same color just its a SS with a wingswest lip kit on it.
heck if anyone can photoshop ZR-1's just so i could see that would be great too.

The only thing that would shy me away from your wheels is the width. It looked like I saw 225/40/18 on there, and that's WAY too skinny for our cars in the rear.

i think they don't look too bad, but i'm not a fan of exposed bolts/rivets, personally.....they'd look much cleaner without them, IMO

maybe he intentionally put them as links instead of embedded pictures, so that it wouldn't take as long for the thread to load.....after all, those are some fairly large-sized pics for someone on dialup
