Car will be Navy Blue Metallic w/ RS 3-piece spoiler

I love this idea, am I alone?

best part about these is when your moving, people will think you have some aftermarket black rims w/ the lip

Yeah, I guess that looks pretty decent. I think I'm only sold because of the silver center. I'm not sure whether it would look as good with a dark blue car as it does on that black one though.

Black rims don't really look good with dark blue cars. I vote no.

I like the wheels, but I question them on a blue car...
Also, I think it may be more trouble than its worth. If you are resourceful and do it yourself maybe its worth it... Salad shooters are a dime a dozen

Oh and tailpipes are yukky on Camaros.

They do look better than I thought they would, but why not chrome the salad shooters. When I bought my 96 Z-28 late in the model year, they came with these special edition ones (being the last year they would be offered). I think they'd look real good on a dark car too.

I would NOT do black on a blue car.

Also, do paint the wheels RIGHT you will spend quite a bit of money and time. is it REALLY worth it when the newer 5 spokes are avail, or ZR1s have gotten so cheap? I painted a set of ZR1s and had around $100 in materiel (good paint, clear coat, prep, etc) and I already owned the paint gun.

I like them but the car needs to be black, white, or red to pull it off properly. Blue doesn't provide as good a contrast.

Ideally i'd say get some new wheels, but sometimes that's not an option.
