  • What kind of rims? (pics)

    My ride:








    I found rims on ebay that I want.... but I see them in chrome, and in black machined...

    What would look better with my pewter colored camaro??

    I'm also looking to get a billet grill but I want it to look sharp, not tacky.

    Any suggestions?

    i'd say the machined...but it depends on if you like the bling chrome has to offer. the pics for those machined C5s are kinda blurry and the color is off...i'd say they are probably about the same (if not exactly the same) as kristen's wheels, and they look bad*** on her camaro.

    and for a billet grille i'd check out ebay or www.grille4u.com

        That's florida alright.

        lol


        I'm getting C5's... haven't decided on whether I should get the black machined, polished (which looks exactly like chrome, but I hear they get worn out and lose the shine, and some rim cleaners damage the metal), or chrome. The thing is, the chrome cost over $100 more.

          okay so the machined will look like kristen's... her's look sweet.

          the machined looks much darker on the ebay listing... which scared me a little...

          the chrome looks good but (sadly) i dont know if i have the time to take care of them like i should.

          but now if i get the black machined will they look really similar to the stock wheels??

            Those machined I think are gunmetal like mine, but black on the inside, like kristen's. It's like my rims and kristen's rims had a love child. :D Anyway, I bought my rims from the same guy. Mine are all gunmetal. I like that machined for your car.

              i think kristen has the machined/gunmetal ones on her car and they look incredible

                im a big fan of polished myself. i think they're easier to care for than chrome.

                  Okay, so I think I am going with the machined c5's.

                  Now.... as far as a billet grille..... chrome would probably look tacky. Do they make one that would match the new rims?? Or do you guys think just leaving it would look better

                        So if I get the rims off ebay from the moore9911 guy, are they going to be good quality???
                        $459 seems like way too good of a deal ... but what do i know..?

                        Kristen, are those the same ones you have?

                        And what kind of tires would you guys recommend?

                          yes sir they are. i think that is the ebay store that i got them from also.

                          i have pirelli p zero nero m&s tires. they are the best tires that i have ever had. i will never buy anything different. they grip to the groud so hard. plus with tire testing they got best all season max performance tires!

                            (yes "ma'am" you meant) haha :p

                            Yeah your rims look hot with the Pewter.

                            Chrome is cool too, but the upkeep is much harder I'm sure, and they are a little too bling bling for me...

                            Thanks for the help!!

                              from what i hear chrome is very easy to take care of. i would think the up keep would be the same for those 2 rims.
