IMHO, I think they will look awesome. I kind of favor the black wheels on certain colors and on yellow will be sweeeeeet.

Re: Thoughts on these rims?
I know what you mean. I have polished classic CCWs and decided I am going to PC the center pieces black (on a Red Z). I am still going to have some chrome with the bolts and polished lip with Carter's ZR-1 polished center caps. I did not care for the polished look on my Red. It took awhile for me to make the decision (a few years in my case). I PC'd my stock centers black and left polished lip and love it so decided to go black with the CCWs. At least the Yellow is so rare so you'll be a little unique either way you good. Great price and best wishes with your decision.

Re: Thoughts on these rims?
I forget what year yours is? I meant to mention that I went with black centers because of the 90 and the black molding really sets off well.

Re: Thoughts on these rims?
[quote=xlr8nflorida;71820]do you mean black centers on polished? I'd like to see that
I have a 90. [quote] Yes, I'll post some pics after I get them done. Right now I have drama rebuilding the LT5. I think it will look really trick, but you know how that goes in our own minds. Yes, now I remember you Z and also saw your post on the "OTHER" site. I like the black centers, but your Z does look nice the way it is now too.....hmmmm, I see why it is a tough decision for you. |

Re: Thoughts on these rims?
Personally I think the "dish" look on the 5-spoke looks odd. Maybe it's just because I know they are cheap chinese knock-offs?
I'd say do it right and either get GS wheels and spacers, or some Z wheels and refinish them black.
