Default Black Z06's...

Well...I couldn't resist anymore...

Picked up myself some black Z06 rims w/ polished lip...to late to persuade me otherwise but do you all think they will look good?

I will be selling some 2000 C5 rims w/o tires soon...gauging interest

here is the rims...

here's my car...(with the original wheels)

and here's the current wheels...I'm using the tires that are on them...


I should have them on within a couple weeks...I'm excited

I voted OK.

They are nice wheels, but it seems every black Camaro has them which is the only reason I'd not want to get them.

really? I've only seen a couple black maro's w/ black rims (one of which is phate's)...

I really don't like black rims unless there on a black car imo...

I got some VHT Night Shades as well to smoke the Turns and stuff (honestly not copying your car phate lol...had this planned out for a long time now...haha)

I think they'll go quite nicely on your Camaro.

Hehe im not worried about it.

I think they'll look good man. Im not much on the 10 spoke design, but I think they'll look good.

If I were to get any other rims than the ones I currently have, i'd get American Racing Torque Thrust II's, or HRE's.

Cant wait to see pics though!

I'm not a big fan of black wheels on a black car, but I think it'll look pretty good. I voted 'OK'.

I like those as well, however my car is not lowered so the wheel gap would be huge!!!

the 17/18" fill the gaps better....those TTII would look sweet on your car tho...
