Also, looking for a stock set GMS and powdercoating takes time... Im in Ohio and we are just getting to nice weather finally (or hopefully soon) and I really just want to get them here, and mounted, balanced and ready! I really wanted the 10" rear but I think I will go w/ the muscle look like you all are recommending! Thanks so much!

Anyone want to take the time and recommend me some nice summer tires to go along w/ those rims

I agree with you guys if it's more for show go with what you feel looks better and at a price that fits

the CM5's are decent, i think because they are very similar to stockers, but different... that being said, on your black car, just a few more bucks could get you into black/machine finished torque thrust wheels -- http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price

now those would be killer

I know, I almost thing helos look a bit ricey... The forgestars are pretty nice, but the solid black rim on black car not sure how I feel. The TSW Nurburgrin aren't so bad either, but again all solid black

the nurburgring should come in black wheel with machined face, too which would look good.

I agree with Brando here. And the rest of the guys who are with the 5 spoke. It has to be done right to be over 5 spoke. And is often done so. But when you go over 5 spoke, you better come with the cash for it to look right. It just works that way. There is a reason some of the wheels are so pricey. But 5 spoke will look good no matter the price.

Nuts.

They aren't ugly to me. But it's all opinion. I've heard varying opinions on my wheels ranging from they are the best someones seen, to they are one of the ugliest. Most are in between. But they are 5 spoke. So they work.

I agree, but the stock rims and their look-alikes are a dime a dozen IMO. Go with something unique.

itzstatic2k1 · 04-06-2011, 11:28 AM

My heads spinning like a horrible hangover!

I love the c5 look, but they are like you said a dime a dozen, tons of variants of stock rims around... the Forgestars look awesome, but sooo much black ... cars already black w/ blacked out tails, sidemarkers, bowties, I feel I need some contrast.
