i see many guys with 45th like mine (coupe ss) put black rims, wich i really wanna put on mine, i would love the havoc rims (nurburings too are nice) but i may think to powdercoat the stock one with some red finish in the side of the side edge of the spoke, what u guys think could look better as a black rim for this car?

TSW Nurburgring rims were what I wanted until I saw the price.
I'm probably going to go with 18x9.5 Corvette Grand Sport rims all around and put Goodyear F1 Super Car Eagle tires. Then I can rotate them cause it's my DD and I'll still get agood traction all the way around.

Not to mention I'll be getting one of those tires for about half the price of a Pzero!

Yeah, I was a little rough on my baby. I'm digging it big time, truth be known. YES! I love the black rims. It might be my next mod. I have modded everything from most of my guns and guitars. I said I was going to leave this thing alone. We'll see...

Hey, where do you get a "clay bar." And it sounds like it involves a fair amount of elbow grease.

I planned to leave mine stock as well. 1 month later I started having temptations....

You can get a clay bar kit from autozone or walmart. I went with meguiars. I have yet to use it though, it's sitting in my trunk waiting to be used, lol!

I may go rims but I'm seriously going to try and resist any major mods. Wow, I've heard of clay for years and have owned several black vehicles but finally tried it. Easy and awesome! not a great pic by phone but here's some clay shine...
