...any comments??
Was thinking Black....professional powder coating them black. Or should I just BUY black rims?
Maybe go up a size? 18s and 19s instead of 17s / 18s

Or just keep the chrome?

 

You talking about the factory 5 spokes? I had mine done by a friend who works at powdercoating solutions, they were an aftermarket chrome wheel, he had them glass beaded and then coated them for me for $175. It was a hell of a deal, but you should be able to get them done retail for around $350-400. I did get tired of them after about 6 months and bought a set of polished uncleared c6 wheels. I kept the front powdercoated ones for drag radials next year tho. What color is the car? The dark wheels look good on a vette if it's the right color, but honestly, I prefer something with a little shine, just looks right.

It's really up to you though, but here is a pic of my car with the pc'ed wheels and one with the c6 wheels. Hope this helps.

This is also before I lowered the car.


After I lowered it.



If money is an issue, like it is for most, myself included, then I wouldn't buy black wheels, I'd powdercoat yours. However, if you buy black you can always switch back and forth, especially from winter to summer.

 

Hell of a post!! thank you!

The car is black. So i think it would look nice. About to do a custom paint scheme, gloss black with a red offset stripe (i'm going to make it work for sure) on the driver's side.
Was thinking about powder coating black and then caliper's red... to match the stripe. I thought it would be sharp!

 

Sounds like it would be sharp and colors would coordinate nicely. Glad I could help, good luck.

 

black with gunmetal ftw....

but make sure to tell powdercoating solutions to darken their gunmetal, mine is almost silver....

 

do the rims gloss black with a red stripe around the lip....a red racing stripe down the drivers side....i think would be retarded....all black with the red striped wheels would be good...
