Okay, here is a picture of my car as it is now.



Here is what I am thinking of doing.



What do you think?? Should i do it.

 

I say get them machined so they look like 35th aniversary wheels.
Having ten black spokes chops up the wheel rim too much. I say go for these:

I'm gonna have to say stick with the silver. If you want to change it get some chrome, but I like it the way it is better than the black wheels.

 

Like bradyb said, look into the option of getting your rims to look like the 35th Anniversary rims. They look nice on a black car! I've seen pictures around the internet (just can't remember right now).

What you got there is OK, just maybe a touch too much black.

 

Does anybody know where I can find a picture of a black car with the 35th wheels??

 

ah...NO...stick with silver...or go for chrome...

 

I think it'd be really cool. It'd look even better if you painted your calipers red and put cross-drilled rotors on it. I'm going to do it to my Y2k C5 wheels. I've done some Photoshopped pics here. Someone has even done that to the 10-spoke SS wheels like you've got. They inspired me to do it to mine. This is his ride.

 

I think it would look pretty slick. I would make sure it was a high gloss black. The other thing you might want to do is get the rest of the wheel polished. That would look sweet!

 

I think it would look sweet!
Keep in mind, it will look much better than photoshopped pics.
I'd also consider all black.

 

that silver camaro looks pretty cool but i think the zr1 wheels look better black

 

um, those look like complete ***.

i dont' understand this whole "black wheel racer look" thing people is on...its worse than ricers with their stock steel wheels in the front.

 

Well, at first I was just screaming don't do it...but then I got to thinking...

I posted a couple of days ago to find out about the color on the newer Mustang 5 spokes...Thanks to Chuckys95 and Mad Machinist, I now know that it is called 1. gunmetal 2. anthracite or
3. argent...Anthracite is the most common I believe. Since I am thinking of getting some 10 spoke SS wheels, it would be sweet if you did this, but I doubt you will, but what I was thinking is to get them Powdercoated that color...

Here's a couple of links those guys gave me in case you're not sure what I am talking about...


This is an ROH ZS series wheel...

And here is a pic of some TTII's that have been powder coated this color on a Black Camaro...

I like this much much better than black...start looking at Volvo's, a lot of them have this color of wheel, and the black ones look dang sharp. I wouldm't do the black at all though, but if you must, do the whole wheel.

I only like black wheels on red cars...but the Gunmetal...that's a different story.

 

I also have a black Z with SS 10-spokes. I tried for several months to get a pair of the 35th Annniv. wheels but no luck. I'm still considering taking my wheels off this winter and having them painted/polished to match. I think the thin silver 10-spokes stand OUT on the black background of the 35th wheels looks great. I think the all black spokes is a little to much black for me.

 

Here is a picture of my car photoshopped with the 35th anniversary wheels. The stripe is photoshopped also...

I have been trying to get a set of these wheels for awhile now and they are almost impossible to get. I found a place they will sell them to me at around $270 a pcs....I have a friend that works at GM that is going to try to get them for me a little cheaper.

 

Go for it! It's nice to see a car that doesnt' look like every other!
