Ohh...didnt know the exact details of the rims you were looking for. To me all black rims lose their distiction because they tend to blend into the black tire and look almost invisible. That is why I machined the last 3/8 of an inch of the rim to break it up from the tire.

Not too many people go with the ALL BLACK rim look, but if that is what you like then rock on!

Jim (MTI427Roadster) has all black on his MY Z06 if you can find his posts.

I'm trying to decide if that is what I want. That's why I would like to see some pics of all black wheels compared to Chrome wheels.

I saw a lowered torch red 03 Z06 today with black rims. Looked good.

However, I think I would go chrome before black personally on my car (which is black)

Stock also looks good too in my opinion :thumbs:

Steve,

That looks nice but as you pointed out to me before those wheels aren't for sale. If there was somewhere I could buy them I just might!
