I am restarting this thread (just deleted the old one) because DJ Sanchez did an awesome photoshop for me that has basically made my mind up... What do you guys/gals think...

Ok, here's my car as it sits:



I've narrowed in down to two rim choices that I can afford (each are like $1400 with tires):

Cray Mantas

Silver with "mirror" lip like what is being sold...



or Ruff 278's

Chrome (I would powdercoat spokes charcoal or satin black)



Hyper Black



Here's the Cray Mantas photoshopped on...



Spokes photoshopped grey...



Everything satin black...



and for reference these are the actual car the rims I'd buy are coming off of (all I had is this goofy gif):



Or these Ruff 278's...



on a real car...



I was thinking either hyperblacks (as pictured) or get chrome and have the spokes powdercoated satin black (leaving lips chrome)...

Screw it, I'll throw in an option 3... Keep the Z06's and powdercoat charcoal grey/satin black:



I think I have actually decided now, but sometimes I need other people to point out something I might not be seeing so to be safe...

What do you guys think? I have to do something to it...

 

I sure feel like I just did this.

IMO, Cray Mantas W/ Satin blk or NBM spokes.

Or, if you go with the 278s Satin blk or NBM spokes, really!

I've got my wheels powder coated NBM and IMO it looks really good!

 

ruffs with powdercoated spokes. would look BA

 

I sure feel like I just did this.

IMO, Cray Mantas W/ Satin blk or NBM spokes.

Or, if you go with the 278s Satin blk or NBM spokes, really!
IMO, NBM on the wheels looks good!

 

yep, changed my mind, lol. ruff's all the way

 

Ruff's in Hyper black or color match the car would look bad as hell.

 

99Bluz28 what wheels are those?

 

I vote Cray Mantas. I think those would be the ****. What offset are you gonna go with, and what diameter and width?

 

SSR Integrals 18s powder coated NBM, w/blk painted center caps.
I bought them new back in 1999.

 

Don't like either of those. Keep the ZO6's and powdercoat them darker.

 

ruffs

 

I say powdercoat your Z-06's...but those Crays in satin are a real close second!!

 

Well I am 99% set on Hyperblack Ruff 278's (like the photoshop) so for those who feel differently, why?

 

Myself I just don't think the Hyperblack Ruff 278s are dark enough.
The 278s w/ regular blk would look better.

 

278's

 

Definitely the Ruff's. Please don't put black wheels on your car!

 

^^What if I bought the Hyperblack roughs and then made them look like 35th Anniv. SS 10 Spokes? Also like the machine faced Z06's...

 

I'd avoid dark wheels too.

 

I like those the best on your car out of the ones you listed. The Crays in a darker finish would be my 2nd choice.

 

i think you should either powdercoat the zo6's darker or black. they would flow better with the your lip!
