Hmm... I think a gunmetal would look tight on that color combo. Have the first ones powder coated gunmetal. Mmmmmm...

:D Thats right get the same rims everyone else with a ty/sy has ZR1's..... lol j-k
yeah, cause I havent had them for 6 years or anything :roll: and those black 5 spokes above are SO much different :roll:

j/k :squint: :p

might as well just just put some steel blazer wheels on it, would look the same from 10 feet away.

and just for the record, I never said I liked my wheels either, infact most everyone in NASTE knows I think they are pieces of crap, but they are cheap, they work, and they dont bend like crappy OEM SyTy wheels.

I agree, ZR1 is the way to go on these trucks; keeps it simple. Definitely like them better than the Camaro SS wheels

That's exactly how I feel about black wheels.
Polish the lip, and they won't look so bad.

The first ones need to be un-pimp'd. The black ones are a little too Mad Max. Paint the second set grey or charcoal and you'll be in business...maybe the same as your cladding.:tup:

Opinions are like a$$holes. Everybody has one and most of them stink.

Re: Which shoes do you like??? (pics)

can you give some info on the black wheels?

those look the best of the two IMO. the stance of the truck, from that shot, looks great.

The black wheels are the rare (SUPER-light) magnesium Corvette C5 wheels. When new, these sold for $4495 a set without tires. I bought them used and in poor shape. Originally these would have been magnesium powder coated I believe. Someone before me had them done in black. They are amazingly light, especially compared to the 10-spokes. Sizes are 17x8.5 and 18x9.5. I really want the 17x9 and 17x11 ZR1 combo in chrome, I think it brings out the black so much.

Anyone wanna buy some sets of wheels?????

Really like those magnesium c5's... but too much black on the truck. Like the phantom flames too :tup:

Can you run 17F and 18R with AWD? If so like others mentioned polish the lip and paint them to match the cladding. I love the rims but, not in black.

The tire overall diameter is the same with 275/35s on the back and 275/40 on the front
