Default Wheel opinions please

Im looking for a new set of wheels and Im wondering whats peoples opinion on Gunmetal/shadow wheels on a black car. Ive been considering these, and Im building a 'stealthy' car, not a bling bling chrome car. http://www.tempetyres.com.au/product...mp;part_no=828or http://www.tempetyres.com.au/product...mp;part_no=459

Have you tried a site that has a rendering of your car, and it changes the wheels on it as you choose, you can get an idea of what it could look like, try the tire rack, and put your car model in and see if it has a pic, and look for a wheel similar to the one you like and see if you like the way it looks.

I recently sold a set of wheels I bought for my corvette, that I thought I would like, I had them on the car for 1500 miles, they were nice and I liked the look when I first put them on, but after a while, I didn't like the black look and went back to the stock wheel which is a compititon grey 10 spoke wheel, after all it is a zo6, it should look like one, not some chromed up monster truck, I hate those chromie looking wheels, they look cheap like plastic, I would rather a painted wheel, with some polished aluminum accents, and if you drive your vehicle in the winter, you want something that will hold up with the road salt, because, you aren't going to be in a wheel polishing mood, when it's 10 below. Good Luck hope your happy with your choice, whatever it is.

DANG! For that price tag, go for some forged Motegi rims. They make an AWESOME line of gunmetal rims.

Neither. Spend less on rims, and put some extra money into the engine.

i dont like either....black w/ polisehd lip rims are always my favorite, stealthy too. IMO all black rims (w/ no polished lip) look too much like steelies when you're driving, and those ones are a bit too blingy for my taste
