Need an opinion

I know this question gets asked too much, but seeing that I value board members opinions highly, which wheels would look the best on my car: 10-spoke SS, Z06, or thin-spoke vette wheels? You can see my car in my sig. Also, given the fact that I have two colors in my paint job, does anyone think chrome would look right? I mean if I had a solid black car, or a solid silver car I think it would be ok, but don't know how it would look with both colors.

I think some chrome 10 spoke SS wheels would look really sweet.

That is a very cool paint scheme.

Thanks. So you think chrome would look ok? Everyone else has told me to go for chrome, I just don't see it. I guess I'll give it some thought now, I figure if that many people think it would look good it probably will.

Love the paint. Just a thought, follow the paint, silver Z06 in front, and black in rear.

Please don't get chrome wheels. Get some silver ZO6 wheels, and call it a night. :)

Nice paint scheme, i agree (smaller spoiler though:p )
I agree that the Silver front and Black rear would look kinda cool, but I think in all the Silver wheel in the back would be needed for a good contrast to all that black in the rear..and all silver up front. some 18's painted silver in the Z06 style would be the best in my opinion:D but its really what hits you once you see the wheels for yourself..as stated many times in other posts..its not what others think, its what you think really:rolleyes:
nice ride, good luck

Thanks guys, I've been really looking at the Z06 wheels. I always leaned towards the SS because they were cheaper, but I figure when I do get the money I'll just do it right. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks chrome would look bad with my paint scheme. I considered chrome for a little while, but just couldn't see it turning out good. Does anyone know where I can find painted Z06 rims for a good price? I've checked ebay and all I can ever find are the polished rims. The rare times I do find the painted rims they end up selling for serious $$$.

Either one would look good. I do love the thin spoked vette rims:)

Since you already have silver and black on the car I'd contrast those colors with a chrome rim if it were me. Any of the chrome wheels you mentioned would look good, thin spoked vette wheels, zo's, or even the 10 spokes. I really like the 10 spoke in the chrome personally because not many people around here have them. Everyone and their dog has chrome y2k's and a few zo's.

IF you are stuck on the factory zo style, you can find them used everywhere. I just saw a set in a bargain post this last week, just the factory rims for $600. Also a friend of mine works at Firestone, he's mentioned that like half a dozen vette owners have come in and picked up the chrome zo's in the last few months and traded in the stock gunmetals; and then Firestone sells the used trade-ins for CHEAP (like $400 for a set!) Check around, you might get lucky.
