You know i actually like the Salt Flats... Guess i'm the only one. I just think they'd look better on a silverado or an old cheyenne or something than a 4th gen, maybe even a 3rd gen. Still interesting on an f-body.

i like 'em too...i say go for it. there's something to be said for originality...i guess you could run Z06's, TT2's, or AR Rebels...nobody else has those wheels

i think the salt flats in a charcoal grey would look decent, worst case scenario....and who cares what we think? it's your car...

EDIT, those gloss black 18" C5 Z06 wheels look **** too...

Some FM5's or sp500's sure would look right at home

Not a fan of the Ruff 278 at all. So I would pass. I like the current setup, but gloss black would look good also. And match the grille/roof.

Hmmm, that's what I'm talkin' about

Idk which ones I'd choose. It would be chrome or anthricite though.

gloss black on wheels is a no no I think. I hate it cause the tires are not dark enough and stand out like a sore thumb. BUT if you are only doing the center of the wheel gloss is ok.

If you really like the salt flats you'll like these, except for the price!

REGARDLESS of which setup you choose, I would say NOTHING in chrome due to the amount of black accents on your ride!

My choices would be:
-gloss black C5Z06s
-satin black C5Z06s
-http://www.billetspecialties.com/item.asp?cid=16&scid=128&pid=1011 (in flat black)

I like the lip the Ruffs offer but not the widths!!
