Need Opinions!!! Drift R's or Black Privat Profiles?

Well, as my tax return dollars are almost here. It's time to get wheels. I've had plenty opportunities to purchase wheels last year (It's taken me a year and a half to decide ) And I've got it nailed down to these. I'm not big on black wheels, but it's an option. So what do you guys think would look good on the ole black z? Any recommendations would be helpful as well. I was thinking torque thrusts in 18'' if I can't decide on these 2.


in 18x9.5 on all 4


18x8 front and 18x10 in the rear. I'd have to scrap the center caps, because of the unfortunate rice-like appearance they have if I got these.

I can get the Privat's in a more larger staggered size, but I don't really want to Both Rims are similar as in spoke design. I know the drift r's are heavy *** rims so they're is another downside.

Also looking at torque thrusts, centerlines and draglites...

I've never liked black wheels. The silver wheel is much better looking, but "Drift R" screams ricer to me, and I probably wouldn't buy those just because of that.

Yeah they are a bit too much on the rice side...

I think I'm just going to get some torque thrust's or centerlines.

I like the Drift R's. Also for everyone else ROH offers the Drift R's in black. They have the 8" rims have a 2" lip I believe, and the 10's have a 3" lip and look sweet on F-bodies.
