On a black 96 ws6. I don't really want fully polished wheels anymore, but the fm10s are local, possibly cheaper. I can't decide which wheel look I like better btwn the classic and fm10, both have their positives.

Another negative on the fm10s are that the tires will need replacing.

Between the black vs. gray classics, I'm torn between wanting a subtle contrast in color: black car w/ gray wheels or all-out Black car w/ black wheels.

Honest opinions are much appreciated at this point.

Thanks bro. I'm leaning towards the black wheels, BUT, I know black on black looks good on vettes and most cars, but not sure yet on the 4th gen fbodies. I'm moving more and more away from the fikses because the 2 different wheel sizes and everyone saying they don't look right on our cars. 2 positives for the fikses are that it is probably gonna be a lower price cuz they're used, and they are local. However, I don't want to go fully polished this time.

Looking at the poll I made, it looks like nobody gives a **** LOL.

About to make the purchase tomorrow. Thanks for the 3 others that voted.

Should I do 18x10 fronts like ccw is recommending? I figured a narrow tire would suffice. But maybe the x10s will look better.
