Default Wheel Help

The 73 is in the process of getting a nice black paintjob, and I need some rims to go along with it. I found the style I want, but haven't found something that I know will work with the Vette. I want it in the basic Torg Thrust D style, but in black and without a silver center, similar to the wheel below (without the cobra ). Anybody know of something that will work?

I think black and chrome go together nicely, so why not some chrome rims that are to your taste. I can't see where you dan go wrong

I agree, but the ones that I like (Torq Thrust IIs) are the ones that everybody has. I like my rides to be a little bit different...

Buy the D's and have them painted the same time as the Car...
Have the centers powder coated...

I had the centers of mine powder coated because I didn't want all chrome/polished either.

That's a good idea. I'll probably do that if I can't find anything else. Thanks...

I take that back. Looks like they don't come any bigger than 16"...

Now that I like. If I can't find anything similar to the one I posted up top that will fit and not require much extra work, I'll most likely grap a set of those.

Thanks a lot. If anybody knows of something else similar to the top wheel, let me know...
