Question Anyone running brushed silver wheels?

Thinking about maybe some new wheels in the future... Anyone running brushed silver wheels? Everyone is going black so I'm digging the brushed silver on my white SS. Top or Bottom or any suggestions...
Top Ferrada FR3 | Bottom Ferrada F4

My vote is for the bottom. I also think that something with a machined face and red accents would look nice if you could find one. Maybe a machined face wheel and a red pinstripe around the edge?

I love to top, but they seem a bit small to me. Are they 18's?

Thanks, I might do a render with that pinstripe and see how it looks.

Thanks for the input! The wheels I have now are 20's, so I scaled the render wheels to match. Not sure why they look smaller.. lol

I like the brushed silver. I, too, am tired of this black wheel craze. Want something different. I dig the top wheel. Like that concave look��

Concave is the way to go for sure. Thanks for the input.

I debated and ended up with clearcoated silver. Been very happy with them though it takes longer to clean the wheels than the car now

I went with the NICHE MILAN M135 Silver machined. The above sets are nice, but I'm not a fan of that inner rim. Check them out at CARID.com... where I bought mine from;

I like the top wheels but to really pull them off your camaro should be lowered about an inch.

I was thinking the same, especially the inner barrel.

I agree 100%. 1.25 lowering springs are my next purchase in a few weeks.
