Default Ruby Red with Black Wheels

I have searched and search and then searched some more, but I cannot find pics of a 93 Ruby with black wheels. Anyone have some or can find them. Specifically the Black GS wheels. Thanks.

Someone must have those wheels on there car,but don't recall ever seeing one.It's only a one year color so someone might have never done it.

It should look pretty good! A friend of mine on another forum has a Royal red BMW 740i with black wheels and it looks amazing! BMW's Royal Red on the E38 is very close to Chevrolets' Ruby Red.

To each their own, but I think the Ruby looks best with either the sawblades or A-molds with the Ruby center cap.

I agree with you 100%.But sometime it's nice to change things up a little.

Don't know what GM was thinking when they designed wagon wheels, crappy looking wheel imo.
