New wheel pics!
I bought two pair of genuine GM, Z06 rear wheels! All 4 are 18x10.5. Front tires are Michelin 285/35/18; rears are Nitto 555R 305/35/18 extreme drag
Wheels have been powdercoated black and I bought new black center caps.
Before:
I still have the chrome ones. I like having the option to swap them out as the mood strikes me.

I just did that too! I didn't powdercoat mine black though. I went with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2, 275/35/18frt, 315/30/18rear. Those wheels don't weight alot either which is very nice

Thanks for the encouragement!
I don't think I'm going to go red for the accent color. I think a bright blue would be great though. The Z06s came with red calipers. I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to pass off my car for something it's not.
Next mod will be the interior. I'm thinking black leather surrounds with black suede centers, blue stitching, and this on the headrest:

Those wheels look really good on the car.
