LOL! Yeah, I like them too. Different, yeah, but I like being a little different

When I was growing up, Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows of all time (easily pleased I guess!)... kinda living a kid fantasy with the all black car maybe? haahhaha

Perfect color combo on a black/black convertible. The polished lip breaks it up nicely. I agree with stang killa, if they were about 2 sizes bigger, they would be perfect.
I agree with pu12en12g, that was pretty damn funny

But, what do you mean by two sizes bigger?!?! I already had to take a grinder and the biggest sledge hammer I had to get them to fit. LOL!

Orange lights? You mean the side markers? Put some blackouts on those too?

Also, I don't have a white one so not sure which one you want me to switch to

jer4251, my goal is to have three by the end of summer. I have six now though but one doesn't have an engine in it (but it's on an engine stand so I guess it counts? ). I guess that if somebody didn't say I was a die hard Camaro junkie, I might have an argument, eh? hahaha

I think he is saying that if they filled up the wheelwell a little more, they would look sweet.

I agree.

19x11, lowered, with a polished lip would look awesome

But, come on guys... I have to have at least one car I can take to the grocery store that has the speed bumps!!!

I do think it looks pretty good lowered like in the pic above, but, I already have two cars with less than 3" ground clearance and need to maintain at least some degree of sanity with my modding to my daily drivers.

lol i know there called side markers I just had to stressss the orange. really stands out on black! As for saying I like black wheels on white cars I was simply saying that was my favorite. they still look good on your car but I think your other wheels would look better! whichever way you go it looks great

they look great Brent!!!! Personally I'm really tired of seeing TT's on everything these days. I got REAL close to buying a set of 11" GS wheels just like yours for my black Z before stumbling on the $900 steal of a deal I got on my NEW '02 SS 10- spokes with F1's <500 miles on them. They still have the nubs on the sidewalls. Of course I haven't driven it much at all this winter. I'd also thought about painting my wheels to match the 35th Anniv. SS too, but they wouldn't look as good as those 315's

Black car + Black Wheel =

I never really liked black wheels, especially on dark cars. IMO, chrome or polished looks the best since there is the contrast between the car and the wheels. I do like the fact that those have the polished lip. Maybe polished lip and gun metal grey spokes would work for me. But hey, that's my $0.02.

Like you said Brent, if you like 'em that's all that really matters. I just go a set of Smoothies for my Black Z and I love 'em. Some don't like 'em. I don't care. I paid for 'em

Let the battle continue......

Thanks for the feedback

Looks like the black wheels have taken a pretty large lead. I didn't think it was going to turn out like that in the beginning.

Either way, I'm lucky enough to have extra wheels that I can keep and I'll be able to switch them around when I get bored with the looks. I have a set of chrome ZR1 style wheels that I was going to install on the yellow SS. Maybe I can stick the chrome ones on the black for a little while and put the black ones on the yellow SS? Hmm... that doesn't seem like it would look as good but ya never know

i like it as is, and yes if you dont keep the tires clean they will start to look brown.

...my opinion is slightly bias...
