Default Wheel poll part 2

I've narrowed it down

Keep in mind, I'm also adding a black scoop insert, black billet grill with '69 SS emblem, and halos with the black housings and matching front corners. And sooner or later I'll lower it.

First, my car, with the 2000 Corvette wheels:




Option 1: Black Machined 2000 Vette


Option 2: C5 Z06, black with polished lip


Option 3: Anthracite TTM

All to common for my taste but if I had to pick, The Y2K Black would be it.

It would go with the theme of the car. But I think I like the looks of the anthracite a little better. It's not easy to see the details of the wheel in black.

I agree. Many people don't like them because they look like the Mustang wheels. If I get them, I'm pretty sure nobody is going to look at my car and think it's a Mustang...

you should check out the machined z06 rims. They look good especially with the 35th machined center caps
