Anyone out there think this is a bad idea to go with the painted Q9Ks?
I am going with the polished. I beleive they look better.

Just getting the standard steelies first, but going to put Chrome trim rings and chrome lug nut covers on it at first (don't care for the plain silver rings and black lug nut covers), untill I decide which aftermarket rims to go with....

Right now, I am going with the midnight silver. I like them best of all the stock rims.

IF GM makes the LS7 rims available for a fair price, THEY SHALL BE MINE -- along with the 305 meat in the back.

Maybe I am just showing my age but I don't get all the hype about large rims. The tires are more expensive and I would think would take more power to spin em fast. I have never really liked the large rims. I have not seen the 2010 camaro live only in pics and placed my order based on a picture, so the large rims may look good on the car. I was kinda thinking at some point possibly trying a smaller rim with wide tires. Would also lower the car and help on handleing, I would think.

I've seen the 18's in person and to me they're just perfect.
