In my opinion it doesnt look all that great, the wheel wells look HUGE, but maybe if u got a polished lip on them, or even polish everything EXCEPT the SPOKES.... that might look good.

When I say I don't think it would look that good I mean, from a distance or in motion. I think it would look ok up close in general.

I have actually always been a fan of black wheels on f-bodies. I agree with pu12en12g, if you go with black wheels, a polished lip would look good. All in all, its your car, do what you like with it.
