Re: polo green? (ductape)
Here is a quick pic after I got the chrome "ZR-1" rims put on. I don't like the angle though b/c it doesn't really show the width of the 17x11's on the back but I have not taken any other pics yet. Guess I am too lazy? I had the silver ones one my white 'Vette before so you can compare the two together. Just click on the gallery link and they are the first and fourth pictures. Good luck!

Just my opinion, but I don't think the black wheels would look too good with polo green. Better on a bright colored car. I'm kind of a polo green fan myself! :yesnod: ;)

Re: polo green? (da6speed)
Thanks for all the pics, but still was wanting to see some black GS wheels would look like :D
Someone photoshopped my picture above and made my rims black. I'll have to dig it up as I can't find the topic right now. I do have the image at home and will post it later if I remember...

Re: polo green? (corvettemaster)
here's a photochop i done of Marcho Polo's vette a while back with black gs rims. click here for a larger version.
That's the one!
I saw a '94 or so Polo Green around town with black rims on it. I'm not sure if I like it in person, but that photochop of my car looks pretty cool.
I think the black rims would be cool if my car weren't stock. It makes the car look pretty mean, and if I can't back up the mean look, then I'd rather have plain rims! kinda strange, but that's my thoughts.

93JetJocky: I bought both of my sets from AFS wheels in CA. They come mount/balanced/with lugs and with the correct offset for your car. You grab them from the UPS guy and simply throw them on the car! Instant gratification!

Someone mentioned 315's does that mean it takes a different tire then the 285 on the rear now? If that assumption is true, do the fronts remain the same 245's? What does the offset do and what is that?
Thanks guys.
